Tottenham Hotspur have impressed so far this season.

During an interview with the club’s official website, Spurs striker Harry Kane raved about teammates Mousa Dembele and Victor Wanyama, explaining why they have been ‘incredible’ so far this season.

The midfield duo have been behind everything good that has happened for Tottenham so far this season, providing a fantastic shield for their defence, whilst allowing the more attack-minded players in the team the freedom to express themselves.

Mauricio Pochettino’s men currently sit in second position in the Premier League table, nine points adrift of league leaders Chelsea.

And many believe that the Lilywhites are the only side who can mount a sustained challenge to the Blues this term.

Kane spoke to TottenhamHotspur.com, and highlighted the performances of two players who he believes have been pivotal to their impressive run of form this season:

“They are incredible and they’ve been fantastic this season. They are so powerful, so strong and good on the ball as well, so when the ball drops to them they are able to get out of situations or pass forward and start attacks as well. They did it so well, they know the balance because they don’t want to drop too deep and they know how to sweep in front of the defence and win second balls as well. They win the ball, start counter-attacks and get the ball rolling. They are very important players for us.”

Wanyama moved to White Hart Lane in the summer, for a fee believed to be in the region of £11 million, whilst Dembele in enjoying his fifth season at Spurs, after making his £15 million switch from Fulham in 2012.

And if Tottenham are to have any chance whatsoever of Premier League glory, they will need the Kenyan and the Belgian to continue their superb performance levels for the remainder of the campaign.
