Next Tottenham manager must prioritise £50m transfer decision to give Harry Kane his role back

Never has a transfer decision been more clear than the one that faces Tottenham Hotspur Football Club this summer. Arguably, in a lot of departments, there are positions that are also a priority to add options too, but in terms of central attacking midfielders, Spurs do not even have one.

Ever since the departure of Christian Eriksen, the club have been crying out for someone who can break the lines with one exquisite pass. In recent seasons, talisman Harry Kane has been dropping deep to fill that void while still scoring at least 20 goals per Premier League season.
