Between 2024/15 and 2022/23, there were only three seasons in which Harry Kane didn't hit the 20-goal mark in the Premier League for Tottenham Hotspur, having never dipped below 17 goals amid that prolific run of consistency.
For comparison, while Heung-min Son did hit 17 goals himself in 2023/24, the club's top scorer in the league last term was Brennan Johnson with just 11 goals.
Richarlison leads the way this time around, meanwhile, on only nine.
It's fair to say that the Lilywhites haven't got close to replacing the England skipper since his exit for Bayern Munich, with 2025 arrival, Randal Kolo Muani, enduring a particularly dismal time of things in north London.
Why Kolo Muani is Spurs' worst signing of the season
It's not been a positive campaign at N17, far from it, with the ENIC regime again likely to look back at their summer investment as reason for concern.
Indeed, Xavi Simons - the two-goal star in the recent win over Atletico Madrid - has been frustratingly inconsistent, while Mohammed Kudus has seen his bright start halted by injury.
It is Kolo Muani, however, who has perhaps been the biggest disappointment, even while only signed on loan, with the Paris Saint-Germain striker scoring just a solitary Premier League goal all season.
Whether it is operating through the middle or off the flanks, the Frenchman has been desperately ineffective, with his only truly bright spell coming amid Igor Tudor's arrival, having scored two of his five goals for the club during the Croatian's seven-game tenure.
From 15 Premier League starts, the 27-year-old boasts just one assist to go with his solitary goal, averaging just 0.7 key passes and 0.7 successful dribbles per game, alongside an average of just 19.6 touches per game.
For a player who cost PSG roughly £74m back in 2023, and one who played in a World Cup final as recently 2022, that is a desperately poor record, ensuring he should well be considered the club's worst signing of the summer and the season at N17.
There can certainly be no consideration over a permanent deal this summer, not least with new boss Roberto De Zerbi likely to be presented with a perfect, in-house replacement.
Spurs' new Harry Kane could end Kolo Muani's stay
For all the fixation on signings, there's nothing better than 'one of your own' doing the business at first-team level, with the aforementioned Kane shaking off mixed loan spells to emerge as the undisputed talisman in north London.
There will be hope that young Mikey Moore can enjoy something of a similar trajectory in the years to come, with this summer likely to prove a perfect time for De Zerbi to bring him into the fold.
Rather than even contemplate forking out to keep Kolo Muani on board permanently, the Italian could strengthen his attack with a homegrown solution, with Moore looking so lively on loan at Rangers.
Typically deployed off the left, but also comfortably operating as something of a second striker, the 18-year-old has been a driving force behind the Ibrox side's title bid, scoring six Premiership goals since Danny Rohl took charge in December.
That doesn't tell the full story, however, with the teenager - even his despite youth - something of a talismanic figure under the Rohl regime, starting each of the last eight league games, scoring or assisting four times in that recent run.
Even when not laying on an end product, Moore has been a delight to watch, putting in a memorably sparkling performance in the Old Firm last month, terrorising opposition right-back Julian Araujo in the first half.
Despite the Gers harbouring hopes of keeping him around for next season and beyond, the youngster has himself admitted that he hopes to force his way into the first-team picture again this summer, having played a fleeting role in last term's Europa League triumph.
He looks well on the way to becoming Spurs' biggest academy success story since Kane, and with De Zerbi now at the helm, Moore would find a manager more than willing to nurture and develop young talent.
With the left flank having yet to be truly filled amid Son's departure, neither by Mathys Tel nor by Kolo Muani, the £25m-rated starlet could well be Spurs and De Zerbi's in-house solution.
"I just want to go back to Tottenham and hopefully get myself a place in the team," he said, as per BBC Sport.
"Obviously we have got that experience of winning that trophy in the Europa League and that's what I want to do at Tottenham. I just want to bring them special moments to the fans really."
Supporters would likely much rather see youth given a chance, than invest in more wayward, high-profile additions like that of Kolo Muani.
