The Tottenham Hotspur hitman has looked rather jaded in recent weeks.
Ex-Tottenham ace Jamie Redknapp spoke exclusively to Sky Sports, and responded when asked whether he believes that Harry Kane is in need of a rest.
The striker has looked nowhere near his best this season, having played so much football over the past few years, and there have been signs that he is maybe a little bit fatigued.
The problem is that Kane is such a vitally important player for both Spurs and England, however, so quite when and where he will be rested is hard to envisage.
Redknapp spoke exclusively to Sky Sports, and used Juventus ace Cristiano Ronaldo as an example as to why Kane might need a rest himself:
“It’s a great point. I looked at Cristiano Ronaldo this week and he’s on a holiday with his family. Whether it’s a week or just five or so days, it’s just that break away from it. Harry’s in that bracket where if he’s not scoring sometimes he can look a bit sluggish and even just mentally it would do him good. What are we going to learn by playing him? We know Harry Kane is a great player.”
Next up for Tottenham is a home game against Liverpool on Saturday, followed by a trip to the San Siro to take on Inter Milan in the Champions League.
Mauricio Pochettino’s men then play Brighton the following week, before their Carabao Cup clash with Watford, and that will surely be a game that has already been earmarked for Kane to sit out and recuperate.
