The ex-Tottenham defender expects Harry Kane leaves the Spurs

Asked if he thought

Tottenham

should sign a foreign player or someone with Premier League experience, Hutton answered:

"It's a good question. Ideally, I think you would want that experience in the Premier League, a proven goalscorer

. 

"Is Martial the right person? Not for me, I don't think. I think they might look foreign - with Paratici there, he knows those markets in Serie A. They might go that way. 

"One of the biggest things has been holding on to Son and seeing him sign that new contract. That's brilliant for Tottenham. They know they can rely on him, he is going to score goals. If they can bring someone in to partner him, I think that could be a good option."

Son, who recently extended his contract until 2025, scored the first goal of the new season against City, and Hutton believes that the Korean is now the star of a talented team.

Hutton added:

"He's definitely that player that has got that aura about him, that people look to the way they did with Kane - when Kane was injured they would look to Son and be like 'you're the man now, you need to come up with the goods

'.

"He is the new talisman if Kane goes. It looks to me as though a lot of the squad look to him to do something. When they need a bit of magic, he is their go-to man. Moving forward, if it is him, he will be their main player this season."

The ex-Tottenham defender believes that

Harry Kane

will leave the team soon.

 Hutton said:

"I think so. He came out and put all his cards on the table early doors didn't he before the Euros when he said he wanted it finished and sorted as soon as possible

. 

"I didn't think he would be involved [against City], it was only a couple of days' training so how could you expect him to play any part? He hasn't trained. He has set out his stall now, though, he's 28 and looking to go to a team where he is going to be challenging to win things. 

"I understand the frustration from the Spurs point of view, I do get it, but from a footballing point of view you sometimes need to take a step back and understand why he's doing it. They are going to get a lot of money for him and if they can reinvest it in the areas they need to, then they can also be a force."
