CHERRIES boss Eddie Howe insists Tottenham's attacking weaponry goes far deeper than just Harry Kane.
The England striker featured for the first time in nearly a month when he came on as a second-half substitute in Spurs' 4-0 home win over Watford five days ago.
Nineteen-goal Kane had returned to fitness following an ankle injury and could start Saturday's clash with Cherries at White Hart Lane.
But while acknowledging the 23-year-old's quality, Howe revealed his focus had to be wider than one opposition player.
Howe said: "He is one of their key players but it's very difficult to focus on one player against any team.
"Because if it isn't him who is hurting you, it will be someone else – Dele Alli or Christian Eriksen – they have quality players in different positions.
"When we played there earlier in the season, he (Kane) wasn't available and now, potentially, he will be.
"You always want to play against the best players, I've got no problem with that and it's up to us to deal with that."
Howe reported midfielder Gosling (dead leg) as doubtful for the trip to the capital.
The boss added: "I felt Dan would be fit and available but I'm not sure now so we will wait and see.
"He had a slight setback during the week so we will see if he makes it or not. Other than that, we should be okay."
