#4 Reliance on Harry Kane

Harry Kane

If Harry Kane was to get injured, Tottenham would be in a very poor situation. Luckily for Spurs, the Englishman has spent a short amount of time on the side lines the past three seasons and they have reaped the success, finishing so high in the table.

But, they have no ideal replacement or plan B if Kane was to get injured or play poorly. This therefore means if Kane is marked out of a game or gets injured, Tottenham will struggle as they rely so heavily on their talisman.

The 24-year-old’s goal record has been phenomenal the last three seasons, there is no other way to describe it. He has scored 21, 25 and 29 goals in those three seasons and Tottenham have every reason to rely on him.

But, if this is the year that Kane is to suffer from a ligament injury or something that would keep him out for months, it could put a serious dent in Tottenham’s title or even top four challenge.
