Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane is peaking with form at the right time. The 28-year-old has helped the north London position itself where they could finish in the top-four this season and clinch UEFA Champions League football for 2022-23.
Furthermore, that form has carried over to the England national team, scoring in the friendly against Switzerland, leading English football pundit Chris Sutton to say he doesn’t understand the criticism Kane gets during an interview with BBC Radio (via HTIC).
“Harry Kane gets a lot of flak,” said Sutton. “I just don’t get it. I don’t get why he gets so much stick. I know he had a dodgy start to the season because he chucked his toys out of the pram after the Manchester City thing. But Harry Kane is a top player. I don’t understand the criticism of him.”
Kane’s strike against Switzerland was his 49th tally for the Three Lions in his career, putting him four away from Wayne Rooney, who has the England national team’s all-time scoring record.
The 28-year-old will hope to be the pillar that pushes Spurs to a top-four finish this season. Kane has his future to think about, but having Champions League football for next season would go a long way in helping him see the project is heading in the right direction.
