Tottenham hero Allen: Kane looks flat

Tottenham hero Clive Allen believes Harry Kane is burned out.

Allen, a former Spurs player and coach, says Kane looks "flat".

He told talkSPORT: “Historically he's a slow starter to the season, he doesn't usually have a prolific start. He's scored a few goals which, for Harry, is unusual at the start of the season.

“But he looks flat, he does looks a little tired.

“I think we've got to remember he's been playing full-on now for three seasons. He's had very few breaks, if any, and the only time he's had breaks is when he's been injured.

“The last break he's had was the injury at the end of last season, and it's going to take its toll.

“Humanly it's not possible to produce consistently at the level he's produced for Spurs throughout a whole campaign.

“He looks flat at the moment and he doesn't carry the threat we know Harry Kane is, but he'll come good again, I've no doubt about that."
