‘Incredible’… Les Ferdinand names the three Tottenham players who were unbelievable finishers
Former Tottenham Hotspur striker Les Ferdinand has now been speaking about three excellent finishers the club had in the past.
Ferdinand played 145 games for Tottenham scoring 38 goals,🏅 a relatively disappointing ratio in the context of his career.
The striker scored 50 goals in 84 appearances at Newcastle United, and 80 in 166 games at 🐻Queens Park Ra🎃ngers.
It’s now well documented that Ferdinand perhaps regrets his decision to leave♔ Newcastle when he did head to L♔ondon, but that’s for another day.
And whether Ferdinand quite ꦡscored the goals he may have imagin🌊ed at Spurs or not, he certainly knew how to finish in his career.
And when speaking on the ‘’ podcast recently, Ferdinand has been talking about some ‘incredible’ finishers the club had in the past when he w🎃as coaching.
The England intern꧋ational recalled three pla🌊yers who would sometimes stick around for an extra shooting sessions after training had concluded.
And whilst it’s not the biggest surprise to hear Les Ferdinand praising the likes of Harry Kane, he also mentioned both Christian Eriksen and Emmanuel Adebayor.
Les Ferdinand says Tottenham players would stay behind for extra shooting training in past
Speaking on the podcast, Ferdinand also shared his view that Kane was a better finisher than Alan Shearer with all considered.
He explained: “At times I would take a shooting session after training and there was Eriksen, there was Harry Kane and Adebayor wou♛ld join in.
“There was a few of them. The level of finishing was just incredible. And he🐻 was always in there.
“Right foot and left foot as well, and thatಞ🍎’s where I would probably put him above Alan in terms of finishing, in terms of his right foot is as devastating as his left foot.
“Alan is great on his right foot, on his left he’ll get it done, but H is very, very competent on his leftღ side.”
Of course, all three of the names Ferdinand mentioned did💯 score some important goals for Tottenham in the past.
And whilst Kane’s numbers don’t reall🦋y need reminding, Adebayor netted 4ꦉ2 goals for Spurs in his 113 games up top, whereas Christian Eriksen scored 69 goals in 305 games in midfield.
Three brilliant ball-strikers in their own right, and perhaps Tottenham will look to add some similar profiles to Ange Postecoglou’s squad this summer.
It seems as if the club could do with extra fire-power up top, and a recent update from Jeff Stelling could therefore be cause for encouragement.
