Nacer Chadli has told Tottenham to forget about signing a new striker because he can do the job as well as anyone.

Tottenham want support for Harry Kane and are considering another bid for Saido Berahino before the transfer window closes on Monday night but Chadli is confident he can step in, even though he has rarely played as a striker.

“I can play in all three positions up front and the manager [Mauricio Pochettino] knows that,” said Chadli, who has scored twice in his last two matches.

“It’s good that I can be versatile. I haven’t played in the position very often. Apart from in pre-season, the FA Cup game at Leicester last week was the first time I had done so.

"But I like it. I like to be close to the goal, to attack the goal, so for me it is fine.”

Chadli, who is set to start tomorrow’s FA Cup fourth-round clash at League One Colchester, has played mainly as an attacking midfielder during his two-and-a-half years at White Hart Lane. He has a reasonable scoring record, with 21 goals in 99 appearances.
