Dejan Kulusevski has admitted that he’s been blown away by Tottenham Hotspur duo Harry Kane and Son Heung-min.
It goes without saying that Tottenham have a lot of good players.
But take away Kane and Son from this Spurs XI and you’d worry for Antonio Conte’s side.
It’s such an impressive duo that it was Son, not Kane, who scooped the Premier League’s Golden Boot award last season, sharing it with Mohamed Salah after netting 23 goals.
The pair helped the Lilywhites get back into the Champions League, at the expense of Arsenal no less.
And Kulusevski has admitted to Football London that his two teammates are simply ‘out of this world’.
He said: “It compares a little bit. I have to make them score. That’s my job to give the ball to Harry and Son to score and their finishing is out of this world.”
Kane, by his own sky-high standards, didn’t look his usual self for much of last season.
Well, the 29-year-old still netted 27 goals across all competitions – including 17 in the Premier League – but there was a sense that he wasn’t quite at his best, despite his final total.
However, that’s why there’s something frightening about this Tottenham outfit.
With the additions of attackers like Richarlison and Ivan Perisic, and Kulusevski bound to only get better after a blistering first six months in English football, Conte’s side are going to be brimming with creativity and chances created this season, something that could make Son and Kane an even more scary pair in attack.
The North Londoners kick off their Premier League campaign with a visit of Southampton next weekend.
