Tottenham trio Harry Kane, Son and Kulusevski named 'best in the league' by former Man Utd star

Former Manchester United defender Kieran Richardson has issued his own glowing praise for Tottenham's current in-form front three of Harry Kane, Son Heung-min and Dejan Kulusevski.

Having found the net 43 times as a collective, during the course of the 21/22 season so far, Antonio Conte's side have hit the heights when it seemingly matters most, climbing into the all-important fourth spot in the Premier League.

With Kane enduring a difficult start to the campaign, his striker's instincts were no more apparent than in the Lilywhites' most recent victory at Villa Park, as he played his part superbly in two of his side's four goals.

With Conte opting to bring in Swedish international Kulusevski during the January transfer window, the decision to do so now seems a masterstroke, having also provided a whopping nine assists during his short stay in North London thus far.

Richardson, who spoke candidly on the most recent episode of Rio Ferdinand's 'Vibe with Five', shared his own thoughts on Spurs' in-form trio.

"I hate saying it, but Tottenham, their front three, it’s the best in the Premier League,'' began the 37-year-old.

"At this moment in time, it’s the best in the league. Even better than Liverpool, for form. I prefer Liverpool’s and on paper, it’s the best. And they are the better front three. But after Liverpool, their front three is the best."

With Arsenal being to stumble it seems at a vital point in the season, Tottenham have now emerged as the front runners to secure UEFA Champions League qualification, despite still having to face their closest rivals next month.
