Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino believes Jamie Vardy of Leicester city and his ward harry Kane are on same level with Sergio Kun Aguero of Manchester city ."Today I think Vardy and Kane show big quality and the same quality as Aguero," Pochettino told a news conference.
"They are different, they come from different circumstances but when we speak about Aguero, Vardy and Kane, they are among the better scorers in the world. We can't hide that. Today, Vardy and Kane are at the same level as Aguero."
Kane's double in Spurs' 3-0 win at Norwich on Tuesday took his tally to 17 goals in 20 matches in all competitions this season and he will again lead the line alone for Saturday's home match against Watford.
"It's important, our flexibility, in different games how we play in possession of the ball and out of possession," he said. "The flexibility is important, and the clever players are important and then the delivery on the pitch.
"I'm happy with the level of players. We have a very clever squad that can adapt in different circumstances. We show in different games we can play in the same way and with the same philosophy but we are very flexible.
"They [Watford] played well against a good team like Chelsea [on Wednesday]. I was at Watford with Jesus [Perez, Spurs' assistant manager]. They are a good team with good players. Quique [Sanchez Flores] is a great manager and it'll be good to meet him Saturday. We need to be focused because they are a very tough team and we expect a very difficult game."
"Yes, maybe," Pochettino said when asked if Kane could be rotated in the coming months. "It's important to keep performance high. Sometimes we need to rotate, to give a rest and some players may need a recovery and energy.
"From the beginning of the season, we try to share the minutes. We are in a competition, we have different games and you need all the squad. Why not? If he needs some time to rest or some to sit on the bench, it's good for him and the team, why not?"
"Today he [Alli] was good. We need to assess him tomorrow but all signals are good," Pochettino said. "I don't know why he was dizzy, but we need to do some tests next week, but we have very good medical staff. We are not worried, only we need to assess him and we need to know why, but we are sure it's not a big problem.
"We need to have some control. He feels good now but after today, tomorrow, we need to assess him again. If it's all normal, he will be available for Saturday."
