Where are you going to find a top-class player who is going to come in for just four and five weeks, but when Harry Kane is back fit you’ll be on the bench?

But he can see the trophy drought ending in the near future.
“Tottenham have got an incredible team and they have been decimated by injuries, but they do need a trophy for sure,” he added.

Tottenham will look to return to winning ways on Wednesday when Watford visit Wembley in the Premier League.
The Hornets are seventh in the Premier League table heading into the match.
