Tottenham Hotspur have now become a petrifying force in Europe due to a transition orchestrated by Pochettino. From a club that stood behind the Manchester clubs, Chelsea and Arsenal in recent years, the Argentine mastermind has turned them into serious title contenders.

And it is safe to say that the one and only Harry Kane has been the protagonist in this fairy tale. The Golden Boot winner at the World Cup has scored 20+ goals in the Premier League for four seasons in a row now.

In this term too, the 25-year-old is on 11 goals. From a 'promising talent' at the academy, Spurs' very own has now become their talisman and has taken over the goal-scoring burden on his shoulders.

Spurs fans can boast about him with their heads held higher not only for what he has consistently been doing for the club over the past five years or so but also for the fact that Arsenal rejected him in 2004.

According to the Gunners, Kane was too small and short. Remember Gunners, he is the same man who has netted seven goals in the eight North London derbies he has featured in.
