Fernando Llorente should get the chance to replace Harry Kane as Tottenham Hotspur's leading striker, according to their former manager David Pleat

Kane has been sidelined with an ankle injury for at least six weeks.

Some have called for Spurs to sign a replacement, but Pleat thinks they already have their man.

"Llorente is a very honest trainer, he has had to play in the shadows, he is excellent in the air, and did wonderfully well for Swansea before he came to Spurs," Pleat told BBC 5Live.

"Last time he played he was excellent albeit against Tranmere.

"Fans should not be too downcast, it could be he goes in and does particularly well."
