3. Jordan Lukaku

Romelu Lukaku shouldn’t be the only member of his family to be in the Premier League. His little brother Jordan also has a place in England’s top flight.

At first glance, Tottenham don’t have a need at left back. However, there have been strong rumors that Chelsea might come in and overpay for Ben Davies. If they lodge the rumored bid of £20 million for the Welsh defender, expect him to head to Stamford Bridge.

Spurs could take that sum of money and use it to buy a younger, more dynamic player. Lukaku doesn’t have the experience or poise of Davies, but he’s a much better athlete. He’s a much better fit for the way Pochettino wants his fullbacks to play.

Adding a more dynamic left back would help Spurs play the same way all the time. His arrival at White Hart Lane would give the club’s second group significantly more attacking width.
