The one player each top 6 Premier League club can't afford to lose to injury

Tottenham

Harry Kane

When Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola branded Spurs ‘The Harry Kane’ team, he made it clear upon which player he thinks the London club lean upon for their success.

While Maurcio Pochettino can call upon the likes of Dele Alli, it is Kane who is the kingpin to their whole game plan – and given his goals return, it is easy to see why. Despite his incredible inability to score in August, the 24-year-old has been finding the net at a rate of roughly one goal per game this season and has been linked with a move to Real Madrid as a result.

He has proven himself to be no flash in the pan, either. Indeed, in his three full Premier League seasons to date, he has scored at least 20 times and nearly hit the 30-goal mark for the first time last season, falling just one goal short.

This time around, he’s well on course to break that barrier, having scored eight times in only nine matches – and that’s not to mention five in four Champions League encounters.

That’s not bad going for a player who was only given his chance in the first team four years ago because Roberto Soldado was misfiring.

He may not be quite considered a world-class forward, yet, but if he continues in this vain it will not be long before he is widely seen as a player of that ability – although that may require him to move to a bigger club.
