Tottenham Strikers

Having two strikers creates all kinds of new problems and frankly, Tottenham at least needs to further kick the tires on Kane’s understudy this season Carlos Vinicius. Committing to play two strikers for the entire game would be a real sign of the intent to make a change at the club.

Kane – Striker

Harry Kane has been racking up the statistics but it is questionable how much of the little things are getting done. To expect Kane to drop deep and initiate the attack and get into the box and finish the attack is asking a lot of Spurs talisman. This is particularly difficult given how deep Kane has been getting the ball which is closer to midfield than the start of the defensive third. With a little additional support, Kane’s game can go up that notch further which Tottenham needs to achieve success.

Vinicius – Striker

Carlos Vinicius has only started three Premier League games this season, the last two matches ago against Newcastle. The Brazilian played for 45 minutes in that match against the Magpies but went for the full 90 in his other two starts. Whether or not the Spurs exercise their purchase option on Vinicius or not, getting enough game time to make an informed decision is really important.
