Harry Kane designs “perfect Spurs player” from past teammates by picking one attribute each
Harry Kane was conducting a QnA on Twitter yesterday after completing 10 years since his Premier League debut, which he made against Newcastle United on August 18, 2012.
He was asked by one fan to design the perfect Spurs players using past Tottenham teammates, and he could only pick one attribute each per player. Kane’s answer had a couple of obvious inclusions and one that would have surprised Spurs fans.
First off, he picked Jermain Defoe and his finishing ability. The dynamite striker had a heroic time at Spurs, scoring 143 goals in 362 games across all competitions.
He is now back at the club in a coaching capacity. Next up was the electric Kyle Walker and his pace. The Englishman is now at Manchester City, but he made his name playing at Spurs.
Kane continued by adding cult hero Moussa Dembele’s name to the shortlist. The silky Belgian dribbler was one of the most aesthetically pleasing footballers to watch, and it isn’t a surprise that the 29-year-old picked him for his dribbling abilities.
Surprisingly enough, he named Tom Huddlestone as the best passer he has played with at the club. The 35-year-old is now with Manchester United’s reserve team in a coaching role and he didn’t play long with Kane, having left the club in the summer of 2013.
Kane has played with the likes of Christian Eriksen and Gareth Bale but the duo did not feature in his list. The Spurs superstar, now 29, is in the final few peak years of his career.
Looking back at the decade, he won’t have many regrets when it comes to individual performances. But for a player who has been so consistent, it is a shame that he has yet to win a trophy while at Spurs.
Hopefully, Antonio Conte is a man that can change that. The Italian manager has led the club to a decent start this season, with a win against Southampton followed by a hard-fought 2-2 draw against Chelsea last weekend via a 96th-minute equaliser from Kane himself.
