Tottenham superstar:I think my presence is no longer needed am leaving finally..
Tottenham Hotspur have been the home to numerous attacking talents over the years, but they haven’t been able to help lead the club to a major honour.
The Lilywhites haven’t claimed a trophy since their League Cup triumph back in 2008, with boss Ange Postecoglou hoping to put an end to their torrid run during the current season.
He could be reliant on the likes of Brennan Johnson, with the Wales international currently enjoying the form of his life, scoring in each of his last six appearances for Spurs.
The former Nottingham Forest ace will be hoping to follow in the footsteps of compatriot Gareth Bale, who captured the hearts of everyone during his time in North London.
The flying winger scored 105 times in 251 appearances before securing an £85m deal to join Spanish giants Real Madrid during the summer of 2013.
He’s not the only player to produce phenomenal goal-scoring figures before departing to join a European giant to take his career to the next level.
Harry Kane’s stats at Tottenham
After coming through the club’s academy, striker Harry Kane had to bide his time before cementing his place in the first-team, eventually becoming one of the best-ever players in Spurs’ history.
The England international scored 280 times for his boyhood club, overtaking the legendary Jimmy Greaves as their all-time leading goalscorer – building a 60-goal gap in the process.
213 of his goals came in the Premier League, making him the second-highest goalscorer behind just Alan Shearer – but it appears he won’t be able to add to his tally after his transfer away from London.
The 31-year-old moved to Bayern Munich last summer in a deal worth a reported £82m – leaving the club with a huge hole at the top end of the pitch, undoubtedly affecting their trophy ambitions.
