Harry Kane has become a pivotal player for Tottenham Hotspur – so pivotal that Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand thinks that the club’s chances of winning the Premier League title diminish without him.
On Saturday, Mauricio Pochettino will not have the England international in his team to take on the Red Devils at Old Trafford.
The 24-year-old, who has scored 13 goals in all competitions so far this season, has been ruled out with a hamstring injury.
Kane has gone from strength to strength at the North London outfit, securing back-to-back Golden Boot awards.
In the 2015-16 season, the striker found the back of the net 25 times in the top flight and he followed that up with a 29-goal haul last season.
Ferdinand thinks that Kane is so crucial that Tottenham will fail to win the title if he has a prolonged spell on the sidelines with injuries.
According to the Daily Star, in an interview with Goal.com, the retired centre-back said:
“If Harry Kane gets injured then they have got no chance because they’ve got no one to replace him who will get that amount of goals. He’s a talisman, he’s not all Tottenham, they’re not a one-man team.
“But to go and win a league you need a number nine who is going to be banging in goals and outside of Harry Kane I don’t see anyone who will do that.”
