After netting nine in nine games, Kane has not scored in his last three.
Mauricio Pochettino has told reporters, as quoted by Reuters, that he is not worried by the fact that Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane has failed to find the net in his last three games.
Kane scoring has become an unsurprising – almost expected – occurrence every week as a result of his tremendous form over the last few years.
The 23-year-old hit 31 goals in 51 games in his breakthrough full season in 2014-15, and followed that up with 28 in 50 last term.
He begun this season slowly, failing to find the net in any of his first four games for club or country, but between 10 September and 7 December – either side of a lengthy injury absence in the autumn, he netted nine times in nine games.
However, since the last of those strikes in a win over CSKA Moscow in the Champions League, Kane has failed to score in any of his last three appearances.
Pochettino, though, has insisted that he is not worried in the slightest by the short barren run, as Kane is “one of the best strikers in the world”.
The Spurs boss said, via Reuters: “I am not worried about him. For me he is one of the best strikers in the world, for different reasons maybe he didn’t score in the last few games, but I have no doubt that it is only a few games.
“He is a fantastic player and a top scorer. I have no doubt he will start to score as soon as possible.”
Kane has certainly proven his class. In a season disrupted by injury, he has still managed nine goals in 15 games for Spurs, and he managed his run of nine in nine despite a seven-week lay-off.
He will be keen to return to scoring form, however, when Spurs take on Southampton at St. Mary’s on Wednesday.
