3 Tottenham players that can replace Kane in the short-term

#3 Vincent Janssen

Vincent Janssen could be given an extended opportunity to replace Kane

Oh dear. Tottenham fans would absolutely dread this option, with the Netherlands international having become a forgotten figure over the last two years. However, everyone deserves a second chance to prove themselves. Vincent Janssen is no exception to that, as he now has a serious opportunity to assert his long-term credentials at the club, grabbing this chance with both hands.

On paper, Janssen is better than both options previously mentioned. Bigger, stronger and with better hold-up play than Lucas, he's also faster, more technically gifted and better suited to the Spurs playing style in comparison to Llorente.

The goals just didn't flow for him during his first season in north London. Injuries and fitness concerns have denied him an extended opportunity to prove himself, or even earn regular first-team football elsewhere on loan. Who knows? An opportunity has presented itself for a player that Spurs spent £17m to sign in the summer of 2016. It's time for him to finally silence his critics and excel.
