Analyzing Tottenham’s reported replacement options for Kane

What can (or can’t) you expect from these players, should Tottenham get them?

Harry Kane tops the charts in goals scored and goals assisted. Apart from Heung Min Son, there’s not a single player in the whole team that has more than four assists to his name. No one has more than nine goals.

So, who’s really going to be doing this stuff with Son once Kane leaves? Son and Kane have excellent chemistry. They make each other a lot better, and so finding a striker somewhat similar to Kane makes Son a better player.

Let’s leave Son aside: Do you think Jesus or Martial can give out 20 goals a season consistently? Probably not.

But if the next manager knows what he’s doing, it may end up not mattering. They might go for an actual playmaker to complement Son and the striker that they buy.

Either way, if these two were the options presented to me, I’d rather have Jesus than Martial, just because Jesus provides a lot more than just scoring goals, and is slightly more consistent and better in tight spaces than Martial.

Of course, it depends on the whole offer.

I still think they can do better. But as long as he’s not the only player Tottenham are looking to replace Kane with, I think they should be good. It sometimes takes more than one player to replace someone like Harry Kane.

Kane is amazing, multi-dimensional and is someone that will be missed. It depends on Daniel Levy and his decisions in the transfer market. This could go a lot better than expected. It can also go horribly wrong.
