Harry Kane reminisces on partnership with Heung-Min Son | OneFootball

During their time in North London together, Harry Kane and Heung-Min Son struck together a deadly partnership. Their 47 goal combinations is the most in Premier League history, and by quite a fair way too.

Harry Kane has glowing things to say about Spurs skipper

In a recent interview with L’Equipe, the former Spurs striker was asked about his chemistry with Son, and whether he could recreate it with another player at Bayern Munich. He responded: “I got on incredibly well with Heung-min Son. I also think he's one of the most underrated players in the top leagues. We've always had a very good technical relationship.

But it took on another dimension when José Mourinho came to Spurs. Before, the roles were more established, I was number 9, Sonny was on the left. We already understood each other very well in the game, but under José, we formed more of an attacking duo and there we created an almost telepathic connection with much more changing roles, one time I was upfront, another time I was dropping back to set him up.”

Fans were hoping we could see the same this season with Son and Dominic Solanke. Despite the latter’s elite hold up and overall game, it hasn’t quite happened as a duo so far, but it is still very early days — and you do have to factor in the sheer workload on both players at the moment.

Later on in the interview, Kane also spoke about watching Teddy Sheringham and Jermain Defoe being two of his role models growing up, with the latter of whom briefly crossing paths with Kane in the first team. “At the very beginning, it was Teddy Sheringham who had a very good sense of the game. We could add Ruud van Nistelrooy or Jermaine Defoe who was the Spurs scorer when I was in the youth team.”

Although there will be some Spurs fans who do not care about how Kane does over in Munich, it would feel pretty cool if Tottenham won the Carabao Cup, and Bayern Munich won the Bundesliga in the same season.

The important part is Spurs winning a trophy, but it would feel like a happy ending from a film if both things were to happen. Most importantly, a trophy is won— whilst Kane gets the silverware that has escaped him so long, without the narrative of having to leave Spurs for it, given in this scenario they would have won one.
