da 888casino： Tottenham’s attack without the free-scoring Harry Kane is a distressing one.
da bet esporte： Clearly far from their best, Jose Mourinho’s men have now suffered back to back defeats against RB Leipzig and Chelsea.
What they would have done for a fit and firing Kane during both of those clashes.
The Englishman has scored 117 goals in the last three and a half seasons for Spurs so is clearly a huge loss, especially when those chosen since Heung-Min Son’s injury have struggled.
On the chalkboard
Kane is due to miss three months of action after receiving a hamstring tear right at the beginning of 2020.
Meanwhile, Son is set for a spell of around six to 12 weeks out with a fractured arm that has now been successfully operated on.
The South Korean deputised well for Kane in a central role, netting twice against Villa and also hitting the back of the net versus Southampton.
However, finding someone to replace him hasn’t gone too well. Lucas Moura has been tried in a forward role and so has new signing Steven Bergwijn.
The Dutchman was severely underwhelming against Chelsea, however. He failed to register a single shot while he was also dispossessed on three separate occasions.
The solution
Spurs don’t have to look too far for a potential fix to their issues without Kane and Son and should think about considering Ryan Sessegnon.
The versatile £31.5m-rated winger has played at left-back and further forward in his career, proving to be a clinical player during his days in the Championship.
The 19-year-old has played as an out and out centre forward on one occasion, a 2-0 defeat for Fulham in the Premier League last term.
However, there are reasons to believe he could be an unorthodox solution to Mourinho’s problems.
His 2017/18 campaign tells the full story. Sessegnon was one of the brightest players in the Championship, contributing 16 goals and amassing 1.3 shots per game, via WhoScored.
It was a real breakthrough term for the youngster who proved he has what it takes to remain clinical in front of goal. Not only that, but the teen also possesses the pace to get in behind and cause real issues for a defence.
For context, the number of shots per match (1.3) Sessegnon took two seasons ago is only just below Lucas’ and Bergwijn’s who have achieved 1.6 and 1.7 on average.
How he and Lucas, in particular, have fared this season suggest they shouldn’t be deployed as strikers. After all, the latter has just two goals from ten outings in a central role.
