Tottenham projected attack

Tottenham will again start Harry Kane and Son Heung-Min. The question facing Nuno regarding the attacking trio is who is the third player going to be?

Son Heung-Min – Left forward

Son Heung-Min was vital early in the season, leading Spurs to their strong early start. However, since the return of Harry Kane, instead of the duo picking up where they had left off the prior season, they just have not fully clicked yet. That said, Son is the most dangerous player on Spurs overall and the team needs him to run at Wan-Bissaka and create some opportunities in the box.

Harry Kane – Center forward

While Son has not quite found his stride this season, Harry Kane has hardly started to move. With only one goal thus far in the league, Kane has found the service lacking or his own finishing being off, leading to more goals not being scored. Like a great hitter, eventually, Kane will get out of his slump and start putting the ball in the back of the net.

Lucas Moura – Right forward

With Steven Bergwwijn seemingly healthy again, it is possible Nuno opts to play the Dutchman. However, Moura has been one of the only consistently performing attackers this season for Spurs. Maybe best suited for the attacking midfield position Nuno has been struggling to fill, Moura will stay on the right and try and take advantage of Luke Shaw.
