Tottenham has some of the best players in the Premier League and on their day, the Lilywhites can beat any team.
One player who is arguably the most important player at the club right now is Harry Kane.
The Englishman is one of the most lethal strikers in the world and the north Londoners are fortunate to have him on their side, while Crystal Palace manager, Roy Hodgson, wishes he had a player of his quality in his Palace side.
The Englishman showed his class yet again when he scored Tottenham’s goal in the club’s last Premier League game against Palace yesterday afternoon.
Spurs ended the season with a 1-1 draw against the Eagles, and it was Kane’s goal that opened the scoring.
The striker didn’t do much throughout the game, neither did he have much of the ball.
However, when he had a chance, he converted it in typical Kane manner and that impressed the former England boss.
“We need some players who can do what Harry Kane did for Tottenham today,” Hodgson admitted to BBC.
“That is touch the ball half a dozen times, produce five good passes and score a goal. That’s what we don’t have!”
Hodgson can take comfort in the fact that there are very few teams in world football that have a player that can do what Kane does and Palace are not the only club that wishes they had a player like him.
They still have Sorloth who has found his shooting boots on loan in Turkey.
Brentford’s Ollie Watkins?
I’ve been saying this for a while.A good young prospect from the Championship who will know he’s not no.1 but will learn on the job,and with the ropey league and the cups would get games.
Kane is the best striker in the PL. He’d of got golden boot easily if it hadn’t been for his injury lay offs, which raises an important point – we need another decent striker to take the pressure off him and rotate a little bit, especially now we’ve got the ropey. I don’t mean an old has-been that costs next to nothing, but a proper young striker on the up that can improve his game by being in the same squad as the master. Do we have that with Troy Parrott? Arguably not yet. I’ll trust Jose on that one and he seems very wary of him at this time.
I’ll say now that if another striker isn’t brought in this summer we will regret it big time and struggle to get top 6 even next year. In the last few matches we’ve created very little but because of Kane’s quality we’ve got the points. Son is not the answer, he’s too necessary in his own role to play out of position. He is not a target man.
