Tottenham boss Juande Ramos has thrown down the gauntlet to Darren Bent, with the Spaniard urging the forward to prove the club can cope with life after Dimitar Berbatov and Robbie Keane.
Spurs saw star strikers Berbatov and Keane leave the club in the summer and Ramos was left frustrated as he secured only the signature of Roman Pavlyuchenko in return.
Fraizer Campbell did arrive on loan late in the summer transfer window, but the onus is very much on Bent to step up to the plate.
The forward, who cut a frustrated figure last term, has made a bright start to the current season and Ramos is looking for the hot streak to continue.
"It's a great opportunity for Darren because the two strikers have left who were playing a lot of minutes last season," said Ramos. "Darren is obviously getting more time on the pitch now and he's got to demonstrate he can make up for the loss of Robbie Keane and Dimitar.
"He's a goalscorer, he's quick, he's very good with his head. He is a very lethal striker in the last few metres leading up to the goal.
"I've got a broad knowledge of international footballers, so I knew who he was when he was at Charlton, but not in the same depth I know him now."

Berbartov lost himself in front of his team mate.
He is still able to hold on to the ball and create chances for his fellow strikers.
Keane either "lost" his footing and get the opponent defender into the yellow book or he lost possession once he is given the ball.
He is completely useless and have topped the list with the player that is DEFINITELY substituted every match not due to any injury.
As for spurs, they played well every match but they are lacking when the ball is in the 6 yard box.
They need another striker to support bent.
Maybe Heskey can make it.
