Pundit Janusz Michallik believes that Harry Kane’s departure has benefited Son Heung-min, with the South Korean now being able to show his effectiveness in front of goal.
Son had stepped up and delivered on a few occasions when Kane was out injured over the years, most notably in Tottenham’s run to the Champions League final in 2019.
The South Korean has filled the void left by Kane’s departure so far, having found the back of the net eight times since being moved to the number nine role by Ange Postecoglou.
Given the number of chances that Spurs create and Son’s finishing prowess, it is certainly not out of the question that the Tottenham captain could push Erling Haaland until the end in the race for the Premier League Golden Boot.

Did Harry Kane do Heung-min Son a favour?
Michallik is far from surprised at the 31-year-old’s transformation from last season, admitting that he would have major questions about Spurs if the forward is unavailable.
The pundit told ESPN FC: “I think that’s a massive question for Spurs, because, here we are, we’ll talk about it maybe a little later too, are they better or worse [without] Harry Kane? But think about it. In the past, when one was off, there was one scoring consistently.”
“Let’s not forget Heung-min Son in his last season. Now, it’s Heung-min Son. He’s benefitted from the fact that Harry Kane’s left. But if he’s not there, then I’d have a major question about Spurs.”
Spurs Web Opinion
It is funny how quickly pundits have moved on from ‘Spurs will really struggle without Kane’ to ‘Spurs will really struggle without Son and Maddison’. It certainly does not take a genius to figure out that losing your best players would be a blow to any side.
