5 reasons why Tottenham Hotspur may be fine without Harry Kane

#4 Youth prospects

Spurs academy product Harry Winks could be the next big midfield star in England

Now, no one is suggesting that a youth player at Spurs is going to successfully replace one of the best strikers in the world.

However, it must be pointed out that the emergence of good players from the academy is vitally important for a club like Spurs.

The North London club does not usually go big in the transfer market and does not pay the wages that can be compared with the richest clubs in the league.

So, if Kane eventually goes, the emergence of talented forwards from the academy will be important to ensure that they have enough strength on the bench to complement their new attacking players and in that regard, the Spurs academy needs to come good.

Following Kane's breakthrough, Harry Winks has now made it to the first team from the academy. The excellent Spurs academy should be able to supply more players in the years to come and that might alleviate some of the pain of losing their star striker.
