It's easy to forget how close Spurs were in the title race last season. They were contenders till late February when they suffered a string of losses and draws that saw their Premier League challenge deteriorate and a top-four finish was seriously questioned.

For a side that remained inactive in the window for so long, Mauricio Pochettino's men have been an impressive attacking unit. Had their spearhead Harry Kane not suffered injuries last season that kept him out for long spells, his 17 goals from 28 appearances indicate that he may well have been the top scorer in the league last season, had he played a full quota of games.

Spurs did go on to show last season that they could win without Harry Kane. They found important goals from the likes of Spurs' ever-reliable performers Son Heung-Min and Christian Eriksen. The key difference-maker for them, however, was Lucas Moura, who started the season well and ended it in even better fashion for the Londoners.

With this unit of four in attack, Spurs will be fairly confident of picking up more than their share of goals this campaign. Their question marks lie in the full-back areas and the uncertain future of Eriksen - issues that they already seem to be addressing with the prominent links to Betis' Giovani Lo Celso and relegated Fulham's highly-rated Ryan Sessegnon.

Knocking at the door of this attack are Dele Alli and Erik Lamela, who have shown their quality for Spurs before and when on song, they provide a more dynamic look to this Spurs attack, which is looking healthier and more threatening by the day.
