The 2017-18 Premier League season has not been a smooth journey for Tottenham Hotspur, as Mauricio Pochettino and his men had to face some challenging times. Last season, Spurs finished at the 2nd position in the Premier League table, but in the ongoing season they have not been able to emulate the same performances.
At the moment, Spurs are sitting in 4th and Pochettino has to ensure that the side puts their best foot forward in the remaining matches, which would enable them to at least finish in the top 4 in the Premier League table, so as to give themselves a chance to qualify in the next season’s Champions League.
Mauricio Pochettino has stated that Saturday's 1-0 win over their North London rivals Arsenal will surely boost their morale, which will inspire them to do well in their remaining matches.
Apart from this, there have been some sparkling performances from some top class players, who have caught everyone's eye with some outstanding performances.
Let's take a look at 5 Tottenham players who have impressed the most in the ongoing Premier League season.
#1 Harry Kane
The 25-year-old has been a goal scoring machine since the last 2 seasons for Tottenham Hotspur. Harry Kane has produced some sensational performances in the current season and Mauricio Pochettino is hoping the striker comes good in the upcoming matches of the season too.
While he has expressed confidence that Kane will definitely prove his worth during the rest of the season, the England international had slowed down a bit mid season, but it looks as if he is regaining his rhythm.
Kane scored his 101st goal for Spurs in their win against Arsenal side on Saturday and will be hoping to continue his goal scoring form which would enhance his side’s chances in the Premier League standings.
Kane has scored 22 goals in 25 Premier League games so far in this season. His presence provides the acceleration needed in the forward line and has troubled the opposition’s defense with his penetrative moves.
#2 Christian Eriksen
The Danish International has been a vital player in midfield for Spurs, as he is a crucial link that binds the entire midfield. He has been reliable and can play as a second striker.
The 26-year-old has been very good during counter attacks and looks sharp with his ball controlling abilities. His unorthodox moves can outclass the best defenses and he has been a decent operator on both sides of the flanks.
Christian Eriksen has been spot on during set pieces and has exhibited his goal scoring prowess when needed. He has netted 7 goals in 25 Premier league games this season and has 7 assists to his name.
In the ongoing season Eriksen was out of form for a brief period, but it looks like he is finding his touch once again. Christian Eriksen has been a key figure in their midfield department.
#3 Dele Alli
Dele Alli is one of the best midfielders in Premier League. The former Milton-Keynes Dons player infuses a great amount of fluency in the Spurs forward line. He has a unique ability to create space with his speed and unconventional moves.
The England international possesses tremendous energy, through which he can unsettle the best defenses in the league. His intensity has looked quite superb and has been precise with his passes.
Dele had produced some spectacular performances last season, but in the ongoing season the midfielder has looked quite erratic until now and has not been up to the mark as far as his finishing is concerned.
Alli has netted 5 goals in 25 Premier League games this season and Tottenham's team management have expressed confidence that the England international will certainly regain his touch.
#4 Son Heung-min
Son Heung-min is known for his durability, as the 25-year-old can be effective both offensively and defensively. The South Korean provides an edge in the forward line and can also play as a second striker because of his explosive runs.
Son had teamed up quite well with Harry Kane in the last season, as the duo formed a deadly partnership in the forward line, running through the rivals defense with frightening pace.
Son has registered 8 goals in 25 Premier League games this season and has played a central role in the forward line and if he continues with the same goal scoring form, it will certainly boost Spurs chances of finishing in the top 4.
#5 Jan Vertonghen
Jan Vertonghen was exceptional in the last season along with Kyle Walker in the defense. The 30 year-old provides solidity and is tactically sharp.
Known for his cohesive tackles, Vertonghen has always been the core of Tottenham Hotspur's defense, manning their territory with authority.
The Belgian has provided an added width in their defense and steadiness because of his reliability at the back. Though, the defender has not been able to repeat his previous season’s performance.
Vertonghen has shown in the past that he can deliver when needed, though and has played an instrumental role in the Spurs defense over the past few seasons.
