Three Tottenham players that need to improve after the internationals.
Tottenham have made a fairly decent start to the new Premier League season, with three wins from their opening four fixtures.
But they go into the international break on the back of a defeat away to Watford and there are still a numbers of first teamers that need to improve this season to turn them into title challengers.
One player that has not reached anywhere near his best yet is centre-forward Harry Kane, despite the fact he’s already got two goals under his belt.
The 25-year-old’s movement doesn’t quite look up to scratch and Spurs fans know that he’s got another level he can reach.
The England captain has linked up with the national team for upcoming fixtures and could do with a couple of goals to get his confidence up.
Another Spurs regular that has room for improvement is Christian Eriksen, who can be one of the best creative playmakers in the Premier League on his day.
The 26-year-old has not dictated games in the opening weeks like he usually does and when he recaptures his form Spurs will become a more threatening side going forward.
He is still waiting for his first goal and has just the one assist in four games.
Spurs midfielder Mousa Dembele is the final player that needs to raise his game if he is to remain a regular starter in Mauricio Pochettino’s side.
The Belgian powerhouse – who earns £80,000-a-week, according to the Daily Star – has had a mixed start to the season.
The 31-year-old struggled in the loss to Watford at the weekend and wasn’t the usual dominant force in the centre of the park.
Harry Winks is emerging back into the fold after his injury lay-off, meaning Dembele’s spot could be under threat unless he improves.
