'If Harry Kane doesn't turn up, Tottenham aren't winning any game': Paul Merson accuses red-hot Tottenham of being a one-man team... and even insists Son Heung-min and Dejan Kulusevski are lost without him

Paul Merson has sensationally claimed that Tottenham wouldn't win a game if Harry Kane doesn't perform.

His comments come despite Tottenham's front three all hitting red-hot form in recent months, with Kane, Son Heung-min and Dejan Kulusevski all having a part to play in the 4-0 win over Aston Villa on Saturday.

In his column on Sky Sports last week, Merson described Tottenham as a 'one-man team,' saying Antonio Conte's side don't have a chance of top-four without the England captain.
