Former Tottenham striker Dimitar Berbatov believes the team must find a backup to Harry Kane.

Berbatov understands the quality Kane possesses, having been a top Premier League striker in his day.

But the Bulgarian also knows that one player cannot carry the burden for the whole team, which is why manager Mauricio Pochettino must find a reliable backup.

He told Betfair: "They have two major components in place now [stadium and training ground] and the third one - the trophy - is coming I'm sure.

"Mauricio Pochettino talked in the week about the club showing the same ambition to on-pitch matters as the club has done off the pitch and I believe they will back him up now.

"Tottenham have a very strong team but there hasn't been a new arrival for more than a year and that will change this summer.

"I think the club will go for a striker. Harry Kane is a wonderful player but he needs a rest every so often but also some competition for his place.

"Spurs will play a similar level of games next season and it's just not possible to play in them all. You need competition to drive you forward and show your best qualities.

"Making the Champions League is going to be key of course and I was pleased to hear Pochettino's quotes about making the top four after the Crystal Palace win.

"The manager is the one in charge and he must ooze confidence to inspire the troops. Even if sometimes you are doubtful you keep that inside."
