Spurs' biggest squad gap isn't a striker or a winger. It's the controller in midfield — and Enya ranks the five players who could finally fix it.
After predicting Van Hecke and Bohoya before either link broke, Enya turns to Tottenham's most stubborn weak spot — the deep-lying playmaker that fits De Zerbi's system. Curtis Jones? Wrong profile. Hackney? Roaming eight. The real fit is rarer and more specific.
The countdown:
#5 Nico Gonzalez (Man City) — secure, reliable, plug-and-play
#4 Alex Garcia (Bayer Leverkusen) — elite distributor, vertical passing
#3 Manuel Loccatelli (Juventus) — De Zerbi alumnus, complete profile
#2 Angelo Stiller (Stuttgart) — Enya's secret #1
#1 Adam Wharton (Crystal Palace) — the obvious pick, and why the data hides his real ceiling
Plus: why Enya took three weeks off watching Spurs last season and what she saw instead.
