Tottenham’s ideal XI following the January window

Harry Kane

Like Alli, Harry Kane has hit a rich vein of form in recent weeks.

The England international, last season’s Golden Boot winner in the Premier League, has scored six goals in his last five league games, including a hat-trick in the 4-0 win over West Brom ten days ago, which was just a short time after becoming a father for the first time.

Although he didn’t net against City last weekend, his clever backheel enabled Son Heung-min to make it 2-2, and this link-up play between the attackers will please Pochettino, as goals from Alli, Son, and Eriksen in recent weeks have somewhat taken the workload off Kane’s shoulders.

Clearly, Kane remains their go-to man, as was proved by their struggles in front of goal when he was injured earlier in the season, yet the signs are good that others are beginning to chip in when needed.

Nonetheless, as like last year, Kane’s form and fitness will be key to maintaining Spurs’ title challenge this term.
