Tottenham striker is looking for his first goal of his loan spell.
Two years ago Shayon Harrison was seen as Tottenham’s brightest prospect and was strongly tipped to follow Harry Kane into the first team.
But he has struggled to build on his potential and is finding it tough out on loan.
Harrison is at League One side Southend United, and two months in, is still looking for his first goal.
He featured in midweek against Rochdale as the club failed to score for the second game in a row, and history is beginning to repeat itself.
Last season he found it tough at Yeovil Town and scored just once, with the loan spell doing little to enhance his prospects.
He can take heart from the way Harry Kane had several unimpressive loans before finally clicking at Tottenham, but there may not be the opportunity for him in North London.
20-year-old Harrison’s contract at Spurs is up at the end of the season, and Tottenham are in a better situation now than they were when Kane broke through.
There are younger and more in-form players in the queue at Spurs, Kazaiah Sterling, Reo Griffiths and Rodel Richards, and Harrison may find himself discarded.
It is essential for his own future that he can finish the season strong, and put himself in contention to earn a new deal at Spurs, and if not, get the best move possible to restart his career.
