Tottenham Key 2 – Keep Kane involved in the game

There is no doubt what Harry Kane brings to this Tottenham team. Beyond being the best goalscorer in the side, Kane has shown that he may also be the team’s best playmaker. With Son back and most attackers healthy, we should see a lot of Kane on the ball, looking to make plays.

To press the Tottenham advantage on the wings, the Lilywhites must get the ball wide. No player on the team does a better job of moving the ball inside out than Kane, who is a master at creating space with the pass.

With eight goals in his last 15 matches in all competitions, Kane is starting to find the net again, which is even more critical for Spurs to be successful.
