Harry Kane makes superb claim about Tottenham player | OneFootball

Tottenham remain a key talking point in English football after a rollercoaster start to the season.

Despite their recent 2-1 defeat to Arsenal in the North London Derby, Ange Postecoglou’s team have shown promise in their Premier League campaign.

However, the spotlight isn’t just on their performances, it’s also on transfer speculation, with rumors suggesting a Tottenham player could be on Real Madrid’s radar.

Amidst this, a former Spurs star has turned heads with comments about his time at the club.

Harry Kane has shared insight into one of the most successful partnerships in Premier League history, offering a fascinating perspective on how a former Tottenham manager played a pivotal role in shaping it.

In a recent interview with L’Équipe, Harry Kane, now playing for Bayern Munich, reflected on his partnership with Heung-min Son during their time at Tottenham.

Kane expressed his admiration for his former teammate and credited Jose Mourinho with unlocking the full potential of their striking duo.

“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, and Sonny was on the left. Under José, we formed more of an attacking duo and there we created an almost telepathic connection with much more changing roles,” Kane explained.

The partnership was instrumental in setting a Premier League record for the most goal combinations in the competition’s history.

Kane and Son combined for a remarkable 47 goals, 11 more than Chelsea legends Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba, who sit second on the list.

What made Kane and Son’s partnership unique?

The Kane-Son partnership stood out for its tactical versatility and seamless understanding on the pitch. Kane’s ability to drop deep and create chances allowed Son to exploit space and score with precision.

Since moving to Bayern, Kane has continued to showcase his qualities as both a goal scorer and playmaker.

When asked about the possibility of building a similar connection at his new club, he said: “I think it’s possible because I understand the game even better today so I connect even more easily. We can already see a glimpse of that at Bayern with Jamal Musiala, for example.”

The legacy of Kane and Son’s partnership at Tottenham will undoubtedly be remembered as one of the most iconic in Premier League history, highlighting how tactical synergy can define an era in English football.
