Tottenham Hotspur have been one of the best teams in England for the best part of the last decade, and it’s no coincidence that their meteoric rise has coincided with the emergence of Harry Kane as one of the best strikers in the world.

Kane has undoubtedly been Spurs’ star man for the past six years, winning two Premier League Golden Boots during that time, while topping the club’s scoring charts each year.

However, there is a pitfall to having a striker of Kane’s quality in the team, and that’s an over-reliance on his goals, and when he’s not in the side, Spurs have been known to struggle.

Indeed, the London club only won three of the nine league games they played without the striker last term, and that’s at least partially down to the fact that the club haven’t got a proper back-up striker on the books.

Yes, Heung-Min Son and Lucas Moura are able to do a job in that role, but neither of them are natural number nines, and for a long time it seemed an impossible task for Spurs to find a quality striker who was happy to play second-fiddle. Until now that is.

Indeed, Tottenham have been linked with Napoli forward Arkadiusz Milik, a potent finisher who has hit 28 goals in his last two Serie A campaigns, and he’s managed that without actually being Napoli’s first-choice.

The Polish forward started just 19 league games last term on his way to netting 11 goals, usually starting behind either Dries Mertens or Lorenzo Insigne.

Milik knows where the net is and he’s happy to play limited minutes, and for that reason, he’s the exact profile of player Spurs have been looking for ever since Kane cemented himself as their main man six years ago.
