Harry Kane and Son Heung-min are the Tottenham Hotspur star duo many know and attribute to the squad’s success. The north London club is on the verge of finishing in the top four, and while many give the two credit for Spurs’ form, one former player is looking elsewhere.
During the segment on the Premier League Productions (via HITC), English football pundit Owen Hargreaves stated that it’s ‘impossible’ for Tottenham to be on their current without Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Rodrigo Bentancur.
Hargreaves claims that the Spurs’ defensive duo in the midfielder are ‘reliable’ and adds that they’re the ones who ‘do all the work’ for the rest of their teammates to thrive.
“These guys do all the work for themselves because of the way Conte sets up with the back three and the wing-backs,” said Hargreaves. “They are reliable. They look across and know what they are going to get from each other.”
“They are good in every phase, not brilliant players. But Conte doesn’t want that. He wants functional players that work hard and are there for the balance of the team Bentancur and Hojbjerg do that brilliantly for this side because all eyes are on the wing-backs, on Kane and Son.”
Tottenham finds itself on the doorsteps of the UEFA Champions League, needing one point to secure that top finish as they take on a relegated side in Norwich City. Spurs have everything at their feet to make the end of the season a magical finish from they were earlier in the year.
