Harry Kane facing Tottenham axe after what pundit has seen – ‘something is not right’
Frank McAvennie has claimed Harry Kane could be axed from the Tottenham starting lineup.
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, the former West Ham striker suggested Son Heung-min has been getting unfairly blamed for all the problems at Spurs.
Son has made 12 league appearances but has only played the full 90 minutes in half of those.
Kane has started all 15 of the Lilywhites’ Premier League games so far this season and has played 90 minutes in all but one of those fixtures.
On Thursday (10 November), as quoted by the Daily Mail, Antonio Conte said the 29-year-old is “really, really tired” after their 2-0 Carabao Cup defeat to Nottingham Forest.
But, as quoted by the Daily Mail (13 November), Antonio Conte has backed his go-to striker to have an “amazing” World Cup.
Conte insisted the England captain, who has already netted 12 goals this season, has been made mentally stronger during the Italian’s time at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium.
But McAvennie said Conte should not be afraid to drop Kane if he is not up to his best.
“It is a shame Son gets dropped but Harry Kane never does,” he told Football Insider.
“Sometimes even the great players need to be taken off. I think Son got the blame with everything.
“This new manager started like a house on fire and now all of a sudden it is not going right. Something is not right there. They are supposed to be one of the top teams, I do not get it.“
