Tottenham Should Sign Igor Thiago To Replace Kane – Darren Anderton

Former Tottenham midfielder Darren Anderton has said that Spurs should sign Igor Thiago this summer. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

Stressing that the Brazil international can solve Tottenham‘s long-standing striker dilemma, Darren stated that the Brentford frontman represents the ideal profile to spearhead Roberto De Zerbi’s revolution in north London.

Admitting that finding a like-for-like replacement for Kane is nearly impossible, Anderton added that Igor Thiago can get the job done.

His words, “I don’t think anyone can [replace Kane] as such.

Are we going to go out and buy the best striker in the world that’s available and pay him crazy, whoever that guy is, crazy money? I don’t think we are. It’s going to be that one where we probably take a gamble on someone and try and do it that way. I mean, I love the boy at Brentford, Igor Thiago. I think he’s done great.

Richarlison, is not going to be a goalscorer. He’s going to run around and upset defenders and be a pain in the arse to play against. Is he going to be involved in a team that gets into that top four or five?

I don’t think he can replace Harry… we desperately need a goalscorer. I hope that Solanke can come and be that.

Honestly, as bad as it was, I think that De Zerbi can get us back into the Champions League. I really do. I think he’s that good. If he gets the right players in, which obviously Senesi is, he wants us to play a certain way of passing the ball correctly. I don’t see why Igor Thiago wouldn’t fit the system.”

WOW.

Harry Edward Kane MBE (born 28 July 1993) is an English professional footballer who plays as a striker for Bundesliga club Bayern Munich and captains the England national team. A prolific goalscorer with strong link play, Kane is regarded as one of the best strikers in the world.

He is both Tottenham Hotspur’s and England’s all-time highest goalscorer, as well as being the second-highest all-time goalscorer in the Premier League. Kane has scored over 350 goals for club and country.

Beginning his senior career with Tottenham Hotspur in 2009, Kane had loan spells out to clubs across the English football pyramid, including Leyton Orient, Millwall, Leicester City, and Norwich City. Kane’s involvement at Tottenham increased after Mauricio Pochettino became head coach in 2014, and in his first full season at the club he was named PFA Young Player of the Year. In the 2015–16 and 2016–17 seasons, Kane finished as the league’s top goalscorer.

Harry Edward Kane was born on 28 July 1993 in Walthamstow, London to Kim (née Hogg) and Patrick Kane and has one older brother, Charlie. He has Irish ancestry through his father, who is from Galway.
