#1 Where is the \"HurriKane\"?
Right from the start of the season, last season’s PFA Young Player of the Year has struggled to score goals. In the initial games, it was largely attributed to the absence of Danish midfielder Cristian Eriksen who was out injury.
Even after his return, things haven’t changed. The arrival of South Korean Son has also not made much of a difference to Kane. It is quite apparent that there is immense pressure on him and that, along with his lack of confidence, has really affected him. Though he did score once, it was flagged for offside.
There were a few chances on Wednesday night which the Harry Kane of last season would have converted with ease and fans would be eager to see that Kane return. Just like last season, he holds the key to what Spurs eventually achieve at the end of the season.
