Tottenham striker Kane: I'd rather have media spotlight than ignored

Tottenham striker Harry Kane says he's happy with the media spotlight.

Kane ended a scoring drought with a goal in victory at Brighton on Saturday.

"I would 100 per cent rather have the focus than not have it," said Kane.

"I have scored three goals this season which is not terrible. Obviously when you set standards in other seasons and other games, people will talk if you do not reach them and I am the first to analyse my game and see what I could do better.

"Of course I feel I could have done better in most games this season. Brighton was probably the first game I was truly happy with my all-round performance.

"I felt good. As a striker you are going to be under the microscope more than everyone else.

"That is the life of the striker. You will get chances, miss chances, feel you can hold it up better. All you can do is look forward and try and improve.

"As a striker, you go through good spells, bad spells. The most important thing for me is to work hard for the team - to do a good shift for the team. I am always pleased to score."
