Pundit says Tottenham Hotspur need Harry Kane back quickly.
Tottenham’s Harry Kane
Television anchor and pundit Richard Keys believes Tottenham Hotspur should not get carried away by the form of Heung-Min Son.
Writing on his blog, Keys says he feels Spurs need Harry Kane back as quickly as possible or they risk losing steam.

Kane picked up an injury last week against Sunderland and has missed the last two matches, including the 2-1 win over Middlesbrough on Saturday.
Keys said: “In amongst all the hysteria surrounding Rooney I saw this headline – ‘Son proves Spurs don’t need Kane’. Really? What a daft statement.
“They were good at the weekend – but is anyone seriously thinking they won’t miss Kane? Believe me, they look able at the minute – but they’ll miss Kane all right.”
Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino
Tottenham though may not be worrying too much. They sit in second position heading into their big clash against Manchester City, who they beat twice last season.
Head coach Mauricio Pochettino insisted last night that Spurs are expecting Harry Kane back far sooner than expected.
ESPN reported quotes from his press conference which suggests the striker could be back after the upcoming international break.
He said: “It’s much, much better than we expected. We are happy, the scan was very positive. We’re very, very happy about this news. But still we cannot give a time of how long it’ll be to recovery.
“Be sure we’re happy because the scan was better than we expected but I am not a doctor — it’s hard to say one, two, three weeks but it’s much, much, much better than we expected.”
