da prosport bet： Lucas Moura is the only option for Mauricio Pochettino, should the Tottenham Hotspur boss lose both Harry Kane and Son Heung-Min.
On the chalkboard
With Son in Dubai for the Asian Cup and Harry Kane potentially out injured, Pochettino faces a major selection dilemma over who can lead the line at Wembley.
The South Korean has already missed part of the season when he was called up for his country, but could now be away from London for another few weeks with the final of the Asian Cup not until after the transfer window has slammed shut.
As for Kane, the England international captain limped off the Wembley field after the final whistle on Sunday with an expected ankle injury, but Spurs cannot assess the damage until the swelling has gone down.
It is possibly the third severe ankle injury the 25-year-old has suffered in the past three seasons, having missed a fortnight of action in 2018 and ten games the season before.

Lucas has played ST before
The loss of Kane is likely to be the most felt for Pochettino, with the striker Tottenham’s leading goalscorer with 14 in 22 Premier League games, but Son has been a deciding factor in games, too, with eight in 17.
Without the duo, questions will need to be answered on who can step up, but Brazilian winger Lucas is the natural choice, and not Fernando Llorente, as the 26-year-old is the club’s third top goalscorer with six and scored half of those when played centrally.
The Sao Paulo-star also averages a shot every 47 minutes, a dribble every 32.3, and has won nine aerial duels as a centre-forward.
Spurs’ Eden Hazard
While Lucas played as a striker at Old Trafford and scored twice, the Brazilian was playing in an attacking duo with Kane alongside him, but that should not prevent Pochettino from trying the former Paris Saint-Germain winger as a solo-attacker.
It is entirely possible for the 35-cap international to become Tottenham’s Eden Hazard in the respect of coming in off the wing and delivering as the lead man, with the Belgian sharing duties between the two roles for Maurizio Sarri.
The £135million-rated forward has also contributed as much for the Blues as Lucas as a striker, with three goals in six, but adds to his game with four assists.
