Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino says Harry Kane will be stronger for his current goals drought.

Kane has not looked tired, and has played well for Spurs in his overall game, but Pochettino believes his talisman is lacking the confidence he enjoyed a few months ago.

"The striker sometimes needs confidence and trust and maybe he has lost his confidence a little bit," Pochettino said.

"It's our job to give back his confidence so he can start to score. I think he is the same person and he has the same mentality as last season.

"But maybe at the end of the season he rested, went to the Euros, didn't score at the Euros after three games, he came back late for pre-season and you need time to recover.

"Sometimes you are not in the best scoring condition when you start to play and your confidence goes down.

"This is probably what has happened. But this is a good experience for the future, to manage a young player like he is."
