Whilst that's a strong part of his game for Spurs, I don't think its a part that suits what we're after or lack.
Do we really want our striker in midfield when we've got gundogan, kdb, foden, Grealish, Bernardo all in there that want the ball at their feet and can all do that better than him? He doesn't have the mobility to do that and then get himself into a scoring position. In the entire squad we really only have one person who can make those off the ball runs in sterling and a major part of why he's been shit for 18 months is because he's stopped doing that and fancies himself as a ball player too now. The side lacks players who do some of their best work off the ball, we need players that will move away from the ball to receive it rather than come towards it. We've plenty of creators, we need people on the end of it.
