da jogodeouro: Harry Kane has become a pivotal player for Tottenham Hotspur – so pivotal that Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand thinks that the club’s chances of winning the Premier League title diminish without him.
da dobrowin: On Saturday, Mauricio Pochettino will not have the England international in his team to take on the Red Devils at Old Trafford.
The 24-year-old, who has scored 13 goals in all competitions so far this season, has been ruled out with a hamstring injury.
Kane has gone from strength to strength at the North London outfit, securing back-to-back Golden Boot awards.
In the 2015-16 season, the striker found the back of the net 25 times in the top flight and he followed that up with a 29-goal haul last season.
Ferdinand thinks that Kane is so crucial that Tottenham will fail to win the title if he has a prolonged spell on the sidelines with injuries.
According to the Daily Star, in an interview with Goal.com, the retired centre-back said:
“If Harry Kane gets injured then they have got no chance because they’ve got no one to replace him who will get that amount of goals. He’s a talisman, he’s not all Tottenham, they’re not a one-man team.
“But to go and win a league you need a number nine who is going to be banging in goals and outside of Harry Kane I don’t see anyone who will do that.”
