And his return for the north London derby at the Emirates Stadium could not better timed for Spurs, who are without a win in their last six games in all competitions, having scored just three goals in those six games.

Pochettino told reporters: “He had a good training session – he is fit.

“In the last few seasons he has been very important for us and was the top scorer in the league (in 2015-16).

“It is important for the club, it is very good news and good to have him back. He can help the team.and it’s always important to have your main striker available.”

Kane has scored four goals in his last four appearances against the Gunners and can be backed at 7/4 to mark his return from injury with a goal at any time on Sunday.

Meanwhile, Pochettino also confirmed that central defender Toby Alderweireld is not yet ready to return, as his recovery from a knee problem is taking a little longer than was first expected.

In the absence of the Belgium international, Spurs are 4/1 to keep a clean sheet at the Emirates Stadium, while a third consecutive 1-1 draw in this fixture is priced at 6/1.
