Alan Shearer surprised by lack of Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal business

Former England striker Alan Shearer admits that he is 'surprised' that neither Tottenham Hotspur nor Arsenal signed a striker on transfer deadline day.

Former England striker Alan Shearer has admitted his surprise that neither Tottenham Hotspur nor Arsenal signed a new forward on transfer deadline day.

Spurs were strongly linked with a move for West Bromwich Albion's Saido Berahino, but could not come to an agreement with the Englishman's club.

Arsenal, meanwhile, were linked with both Paris Saint-Germain's Edinson Cavani and Real Madrid's Karim Benzema during the summer window, but neither arrived at the Emirates.

Shearer now believes that Spurs will be over-reliant on Harry Kane this season.

The biggest move on Tuesday saw Manchester United sign Anthony Martial from Monaco for £36m.
