Champions League Final: 4 forwards who could decide the outcome of the match

Harry Kane has been passed fit for the UEFA Champions League final

#2 Heung-min Son

During the absence of Harry Kane at different junctures of the season, perhaps no player has stepped up to the plate quite as much as Heung-min Son.

The South Korea skipper proved highly beneficial in getting Totttenham into the top four as well as getting this far in the Champions League.

It was his three goals across both legs of the Champions League quarterfinal clash with Manchester City that made the difference, while he scored a total of 12 goals and created six more for his teammates in 31 Premier League matches. (with most of those coming in Kane's absence)

If Harry Kane is not given the nod to lead the attack in the final, the goal-scoring onus will fall on the 26-year-old forward, and on evidence of what we have seen so far, he is more than capable of rising to the occasion.
