Spurs have long feared losing Kane for a prolonged period as the three-time Premier League Golden Boot winner has been instrumental to the club’s success in recent years.
Argentine Pochettino is eager to avoid a flop panic buy, saying as quoted by the Mirror: “If we don’t sign players or we are not going to sign a striker, that is not going to be a gamble. It is not going to be a risk.
“If we want to find a player similar to him I think we are going to make a mistake because to find another Harry Kane is impossible - we are talking about the one of the best three, four, five best strikers in the world.”
Pochettino will instead keep faith with his impressive supporting cast to fill the void left by Kane. Dele Alli
“We have players that can cope when Harry Kane is not available,” he added. “We have the possibility to create our new star through the academy. You know different names. I don’t want to mention [individuals] as that might not help [them], but of course, that is our objective.”
