Micky van de Ven was asked which one player from world football he wants to see come to Tottenham Hotspur, and his answer will match most Spurs fans.While Tottenham have shown signs of being a much-improved team this season with their performances, those have not translated into results so far.Many of the club’s 10 summer signings have already shown glimpses of why Roberto De Zerbi was keen to bring them through the door, with the squad undoubtedly being much improved from last season.IncomingsAndrew RobertsonFreeMarcos SenesiFreeMartin DubravkaFreeJan Paul van Hecke£52mMateus Fernandes£85mSandro Tonali£100mSavinho£85mOmar Marmoush£60mTosin Adarabioyo£12mMykhailo MudrykLoanTotal spent£394mHowever, the main area where Tottenham have struggled is upfront, with the Lilywhites lacking a striker who can consistently find the back of the net, especially after the club’s top scorer, Richarlison, was left out of the Premier League squad.RicharlisonTottenham – Premier League (2025 – 2026)Appearances32Minutes Played1957Average Rating6.83Shots47Shots on Target26Goals11Assists4Pass Accuracy (%)62.00Duels Won137Successful Dribbles11Yellow Cards5Stats correct as of 16 October 2026.Photo by EyesWideOpen/Getty ImagesMicky van de Ven admits he would love Tottenham legend Harry Kane to returnUnsurprisingly, Van de Ven picked a striker for his answer, and he picked the man who is not only the best number nine in the world but also a Tottenham legend: Harry Kane.The Dutchman only spent a few days with Kane in the Spurs squad in the summer of 2023, with the striker completing his move to Bayern just four days after the centre-back signed from Wolfsburg.However, Van de Ven has been at Tottenham long enough to understand what Kane meant to the club, with the defender labelling the 2026 Ballon d’Or contender as the best player in the North London club’s history.When asked which one player in the world he would want at Spurs, the Spurs captain told ESPN FC: “I’d bring back Harry (Kane) man. He guarantees 30 goals every year. He’s the greatest Tottenham player of all time.”Dream Kane return is slipping away for SpursThe Tottenham faithful have long been dreaming that the club’s record scorer would come back to finish his career at N17 and break Alan Shearer’s Premier League record.Over the past few windows, reports have indicated that Spurs were keeping themselves informed of Kane’s situation as the striker entered the final year of his contract.However, it is now being widely reported that the England captain is on the verge of extending his deal at the Allianz Arena until 2029, which comes as a huge blow for Tottenham’s hopes of re-signing the striker.READ MORE: Tottenham may be able to sign Alex Scott for cheaper than the expected £100mThe post Micky Van de Ven names the one player he desperately wants Tottenham to sign appeared first on Spurs Web.
