Three more reasons for Spurs to top Norwich

In addition to playing for the Champions League, Spurs are playing for three people on Sunday, Harry Kane, Antonio Continue, and Son Heung-min.

For Kane and Conte, the refrain is the same. If Spurs finish in the top four and reach the Champions League, they will stay and pursue the dream with Spurs.

The window of opportunity for selling him at a massive profit is closing with Kane. While Conte staying is never a certainty anywhere, being in the Champions League makes it more likely for Conte to be back the way he wants to be in building Spurs team.

It would be devastating to lose either Kane or Conte, thus ensuring the Champions League is vital as it lessens the likelihood that either would depart.

Finally, Spurs have one more player looking to achieve one more mark on Sunday. Sonny is only 1 goal behind Mo Salah for the Premier League Golden Boot, and if Sonny can get a couple of goals on Sunday, he could catch and pass Salah to win the award. While Son winning the Golden Boot or not has no actual impact on the results, a second straight Golden Boot winner for Spurs would be some achievement.

Ultimately, Tottenham should trounce already relegated Norwich, but anything is possible.
