Top Six: The Premier League’s most irreplaceable players

Harry Kane – Tottenham

Tottenham have emerged into title contenders in the past few years and it has also coincided with Kane’s transformation into one of the world’s most lethal strikers.

The Golden Boot winner for the Premier League last season has been able to replicate his goalscoring form this term and he looks on course to regain the trophy this year. Nineteen (19) goals in 22 games at 100 minutes per goal is an impressive rate for the striker, and he looks set to surpass his tally of 25 that he set last year.

Kane’s significance is further proven when you look at Spurs’ results when he hasn’t played. He has only missed five games this year, but in that period, Tottenham struggled in his absence and could only muster disappointing draws with West Brom, AFC Bournemouth and Leicester City.

His significance is also shown through when he’s out of the team, they have only scored six goals in those five games at an average of 1.2 goals a game.

But with him in the team, they have scored 47 in 22 games at a rate of 2.14 goals a game. These stats alone highlight Kane’s world-class talent and is evidence that he is irreplaceable for Tottenham.
