To date, he’s made 87 appearances for Spurs, netting six goals, and is likely to start for the Lilywhites against Monaco in Champions League action at Wembley on Wednesday night.

So it was surprising to hear manager Mauricio Pochettino lament the lack of it from his players after a disheartening 2-1 home defeat by Ligue 1 leaders Monaco in their Group E opener.
‘Then of course we have a fantastic manager who is great for all of our young players and makes sure we keep improving’.
However, Redknapp believes losing White Hart Lane’s lively atmosphere on big European nights could cost his former club.
Tottenham head into their Monaco meeting on a high as they thrashed Stoke 4-0 in Staffordshire on Saturday, with Kane ending a nine-game goal drought by netting for the 50th time in the Premier League.
‘The big disadvantage this year is playing the games at Wembley, they’ve lost their home stadium, ‘ he told Betsafe.
It’s added in the report that Dier had been attracting interest from around Europe including from Bayern Munich, but this is a clear statement that he sees his long-term future at White Hart Lane and Pochettino will hope that the club’s faith will be rewarded with consistent and impressive performances moving forward.
He said: “We created the same dimensions as Wembley”. We showed a lack of passion in the first half especially.
Kane looked Spurs’ most effective outlet on the right flank and he caused Monaco a number of problems before the visitors scored a brilliant counter-attacking goal.
They qualified automatically for the group phase of the Champions League after finishing third in the Premier League last season, having pushed title-winning Leicester City hardest until a buckling under the pressure at the death.
He continued: “It will be an exciting moment for us to play with Tottenham in the Champions League, a fantastic thing”.
“Now we can go there on Wednesday and enjoy the record-breaking crowd”.
