Tottenham Hotspur had to plan for life without Harry Kane this summer, but went about it very different to Liverpool's own attacking overhaul
It was the transfer Tottenham Hotspur had been dreading for years. On August 12, Harry Kane joined Bayern Munich in a £100m deal.

“He is doing extremely well, they are doing extremely well. Well set-up team, exciting to watch. It will be a real test for both of us.” Whether that remains the case in the long-run remains to be seen. After all, while you could argue that Richarlison was perhaps signed as an eventual replacement for Kane last summer, Spurs still look a little light in attack despite their impressive start to the season.
Conscious that Mane would look to leave in the summer of 2022, and with Firmino out of contract in 2023, the Reds essentially signed replacements for each player six months before their departures from the club. Both Diaz and Gakpo were afforded half a season alongside the pair respectively, avoiding the ‘direct replacement’ label and accompanying pressure in the process, before actually emerging as exactly that.
