Ralph Hasenhuttl has claimed that Tottenham trio Harry Kane, Lucas Moura and Heung-Min Son have ‘a lot of quality’, as he told his press conference.

The Southampton boss added that Tottenham have ‘a lot of threats’ within their team that are ‘stressing’ for his side.

Champions League-chasing Tottenham will welcome the Saints to north London this evening hoping to take charge of the race for fourth.

Whilst West Ham did enough to win yesterday, those in Manchester United colours could only muster a point against Burnley.

This provides Spurs with a huge chance to possibly move within a point of fourth-placed West Ham, as Hasenhuttl raved about their qualities.

“Son is back, with Kane and Moura upfront,” said Hasenhuttl. “A lot of quality. They don’t concede a lot of goals.

“Hard to find them unsettled. This is a team that is organised very well against the ball. They have a lot of threats stressing you, so we need a very flexible performance.

“There was no doubt that he (Kane) will be there (back to form). I think, after the Euros in the summer, it took a little longer for him to find back the motivation for the Premier League. I think it’s normal.

But, meanwhile, he is hungry again to show Tottenham how good he is and he is one of the best strikers in the Premier League.”

After a number of months of struggle, Kane is starting to get his engine going again and showcasing why he is one of the best in the Premier League.

The England captain has scored five Premier League goals this season, including seven goals in all competitions since December.

Added with that, he has his partner in crime, Son, back in action and the duo showcased their worth when they beat Brighton in the FA Cup over the weekend.

Now it’s a case of dealing with another south coast side and capitalising on their games in hand as they aim to finish fourth this season.
