Kane chases glory

English striker and club legend Harry Kane is ‘excited’ by the new signings that Antonio Conte has been bringing into the club and is willing to commit the next few years to the club to see them to a possible silverware.

Earlier last year, it was inevitable that Kane wanted to leave the Spurs with Pep Guardiola and Manchester City actively chasing after the transfer bid. But the 28-year-old pledged his allegiance to the Spurs at that time. “I will be staying at Tottenham this summer and will be 100% focused on helping the team achieve success”, added Kane, but this wasn’t the end of the transfer drama.

In March 2022, as the Spurs bottled their FA Cup game against Middlesborough, the transfer rumours were again back as sources close to the England captain added that he has a 50-50 chance of leaving the club, according to the British news site Evening Standard.

But all that is in March. Since then, Spurs have had the chance to pick themselves up from the dread and eventually finish in the top 4, which ensures that they will be playing in the UEFA Champions League this season. With key signings coming into the club, Kane is quite confident of greener pastures for the club.

Speaking to the press during their pre-season tour in South Korea, Kane added that it would be a big season and that momentum is excellent with the new signings.

“We haven’t been at the level we know we can in the last 2-3 years, although we’ve done well to get the Champions League spot. That gave everyone a good boost and incentive to push around the club.”

And Kane’s words are the exact words of everyone who purchased Tottenham Hotspur tickets when he added that the Champions League qualification that turned Spurs’ way had got the entire fan-fare buzzing.

It was a tight race between Arsenal, Manchester United and Tottenham. With Arsenal and United not making progress in the last few weeks of action, the Spurs were firing all cylinders to take that final spot.

The clear difference between Spurs and the other two sides was their fighting spirit. The side knew they had a challenge on their hand and ensured that they saw the dream through.

Kane has given incoming manager Antonio Conte plenty of credit for his progress in the last few months – physical and skill levels.

The striker was seen pushing his limits for the side in the pre-season when they made their trip to South Korea. Spurs were spotted doing some heavy pre-season training before their pre-season friendly and two-hour sessions of dreading pitch runs.

The side is famous in South Korea, thanks to Heung Min Son. If you see more Korean fans with Tottenham Hotspur tickets, it is all to do with Son and what he has done for the Spurs.

The Heung-min Son Legacy

Heung-min Son is probably one of the most underrated players in the Premier League. Son has had his fair share of glory in the last few seasons as a prolific striker.

But this year was special.

The race for the Golden Boot went down to the final week of the Premier League Son and Salah. Son had 21 goals under his name in the final week, with Salah leading with 22.

In the final game against Norwich that the Spurs won 5-0, Son netted a brace to make it 23 goals. As Salah got his last goal in the 80th minute, Salah and Son were awarded joint winners of the Golden Boot for 2021-22.

What’s impressive with Son’s achievement is that all 23 of the goals came without scoring any penalties, as he became the first Asian player ever to win the silverware.

Spurs now have two Golden Boot winners with Kane and Son in their squad. The relationship that Kane and Son share at the front is special. Together, the duo broke the Premier League record for the most combined goals in the season. The chemistry between the two has been special, complimenting each other on and off the field.

“I’ve always spoken highly of Sonny. We get on well, and he is a fantastic player,” added Kane during the briefing. “Our styles are different, but we complement each other”

Son & Kane comes out as bubbly and heartwarming individuals who don’t miss a chance to make anyone who purchases Tottenham Hotspur tickets happy. There are several videos on social media where the duo take time to respond to fans, take photos and even giveaway jerseys.

Kane eyeing a record

Kane, who will be 29 this year, is chasing down the Top Goalscorer records in the Premier League. Since arriving in London in 2009, Kane is already the top goalscorer for the SPurs by a large margin.

He currently has 183 goals (July 2022) to his name in a Spurs shirt. In second place is Teddy Sheringham, a club legend with 97, and Heung-min Son is in third place with 93.

Looking at the all-time scorers’ list in the Premier League, Harry Kane now sits in 5th place with 183 goals. Sergio Aguero (184) and Andrew Cole (187) sit in front of him in 4th and 3rd places,, respectively.

As the Englishmen expect to continue his form, he should surpass the duo in the first few weeks of the Premier League. In second is United legend Wayne Rooney with 203. Expect Kane to close in on this record by the end of the 2022-23 season.

Alan Shearer of Newcastle United leads the all-time goalscorer list with 260.

Transfers in for Spurs

For Kane, the concluded season was a series of ups and downs. He pushed his limits often during the season without real replacement for his playing position. The addition of Richarlison from Everton could ease this pressure this season. The Brazilian striker who ensured Everton remained clear of relegation would be a great understudy for Kane.

Richarlison, capable of playing on the right wing or the left, will be a great asset for the side and the first step to cover if Kane needs time off. It will be a long season for the Spurs to the delight of the fans who purchase Tottenham Hotspur tickets with European football back, so it will be wise to manage Kane’s fitness levels accordingly.

The English skipper is undoubtedly a world-class striker, but his struggles with injuries and the workload for the club and country eventually took a toll on his performance. Several second-choice strikers have tried to fill in but failed. The experiments with the youngsters haven’t helped either,, so Richarlison is seen as a capable candidate.

Transfers in, Tickets up!

With a packed season, sourcing Tottenham tickets will be the next challenge. When the side won the final week game against Norwich, the demand for Tottenham Hotspur tickets spiked. The Richarlison transfer – another spike. The peak performance in the friendlies is the final thrust for ticket demand.

There is a massive demand on the waitlist and the official ticketing website for tickets as they eagerly wait to get their reservation. If you are someone like this and are running out of patience, all you need to do is head over to a trusted ticket reseller platform to confirm your match-day ticket. With over 100+ options, the chances are that you’ll be getting your Tottenham Hotspur tickets way faster than the rest.
