Tottenham’s Harry Kane denies he is in a ‘goal drought’

Harry Kane found Sunderland’s defence a tougher proposition than San Marino’s or Switzerland’s as the Tottenham Hotspur striker’s wait for a first Premier League goal continued on Sunday.

He did score as a substitute in both of England’s Euro 2016 qualifiers during the worldwide break, however, and manager Mauricio Pochettino believes the young striker will flourish once he gets off the mark.

Kane has proven himself to be a great team player when the pressure is off him, but now that he is trying so hard to hit the back of the net, the youngster has become a selfish striker who is making Tottenham a worse team when he is included in the starting XI. “I’m not fussed at all”. Everyone else probably will but I know the goals will come. He touched the ball 59 times, but rather than utilise his possession to create chances for his teammates, the 22-year-old often went about to try and break his goalscoring drought.

“It was important for the players to give them confidence because it’s never easy when you play well and you deserve to win – like in the last few games – and you don’t get the victory, it’s never easy to work”. But with five matches already gone, Kane is yet to grab a goal for his club.

Kane is refusing to entertain talk of a scoring drought despite going five games without a goal for Spurs for the first time in 18 months and after he was interviewed by the Premier League’s record goalscorer Alan Shearer last week, he was reassured the goals will start to flow again.

They instead completed a £22million deal for Korea global forward Son Heung-Min, who was instead played down the wing, leaving Kane alone up top once again.

It was a great goal and showed how we want to play.

“So there are plenty of matches ahead of us and hopefully I can get on the scoresheet for Spurs as soon as possible”. In the four games before that, we played well but we were a tad unlucky.
