WILLEM COULD SOLVE HEADACHE

By Adam Marshall

WILLEM KORSTEN could be the answer to Tottenham`s striker shortage after claiming a hat-trick in a friendly match against Torpedo Moscow.

The Dutchman, snatched from the clutches of Leeds United by manager George Graham, is finally back to full fitness after suffering an ankle injury in pre-season and he proved he could be used as a makeshift attacker.

Whilst maintaining a watching brief on Chris Sutton`s situation at Chelsea, Graham is still searching for a top class partner for Steffen Iversen - even though Chris Armstrong has shown glimpses of his best form recently.

Korsten bagged his treble during a training game against the Russians in midweek as Spurs ran out convincing 5-1 winners.

David Pleat has denied an interest in Espanyol`s Constantin Galca which begs the question which player were the Londoners watching in the recent Primera Liga clash against Malaga?
