Newcastle legend Shearer has told me stay calm - Tottenham striker Kane

Tottenham Hotspur star Harry Kane is remaining calm on the advice of former England star Alan Shearer.


Kane was one of the best strikers in the Premier League last season but he has endured a difficult start to life during the current campaign.

The 22-year-old has failed to find the back of the net in the opening five matches of the Premier League season and many have already moved on to tag him as a 'one season wonder'.

Despite his poor luck in front of goal, Kane is not particularly worried though, revealing that he is remaining calm following a chat with legendary Blackburn Rovers and Newcastle United goalscorer Shearer.

Kane said: "No I wouldn't call it a drought. Everyone else probably will but I know the goals will come. Scoring for England against Switzerland was a great confidence booster and I'm not worried at all. I've just got to keep doing what I have been and I know the goals will follow. Any striker wants to be scoring but that's football, sometimes it goes for you, sometimes it doesn't. I'm not fussed at all.

"Alan Shearer told me that it's a long season ahead and I have to stay calm, that chances will come my way. He said that, as a striker, you're not going to score every game, you have to be ready for three, four, five games without scoring. When that happens you've just got to keep doing the right things for the team and working hard."
