Tottenham man Harry Kane is still trying to find his feet this season.
Ray Parlour insists that Tottenham centre-forward Harry Kane will put the hard work in off the pitch to ensure that he returns to form in the near future.
The 25-year-old has come in for mild criticism for his individual displays of late, despite scoring two goals in the opening four Premier League matches of the season.
The England captain struggled to make an impact in the defeat to Spain on Saturday, while his overall involvement in games for Spurs has been nowhere near the high standards he’s set in recent years.
Ex-Arsenal midfielder Parlour is convinced that Kane will be back to his best due to his immense work-rate, but conceded his levels have dropped slightly.
“Spurs can’t rest him, he’s such an important player for Spurs and England, obviously he’s the captain,’ Parlour told the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast Show on talkSPORT.
“He will get back to form, you know how hard he’ll work off the field.
“He will come back, but he isn’t playing as well as he has done and every player will go through that.”
There is certainly a strong case to suggest Kane is short of his best right now, but he is still absolutely vital to Spurs.
Club manager Mauricio Pochettino relies on the striker to be his main source of goals, with out of sorts Fernando Llorente the only senior option behind him.
Kane has had a heavy workload to balance between both domestic and international fixtures, but he’s proven in the last couple of years he is one of the best attackers in the world.
He is still chipping in with goals without playing at his best and that is bad news for Premier League defences, with a purple patch of form surely just around the corner.
