In a recent report from Football.London, it was stated that Tottenham Hotspur star Harry Kane has put a hold on talks regarding his contract extension. It is understood that the English striker has 18 months with Spurs until his contract expires. He is said to be solely focusing on finishing half the season with the Lilywhites before he leads his country in the FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
Kane’s Recent Run Of Form For Tottenham Hotspur
Kane has had a brilliant start to this campaign after putting in a few impressive displays as the focal point of Tottenham’s attack. He has banged in eleven goals and created two assists over eighteen matches for the Lilywhites so far across multiple competitions.
The Walthamstow-born talent has been reliable and consistent in the front as he averaged 3.8 shots, 1.0 dribbles and 1.9 key passes per game in the Premier League. However, he has to find a way to improve his ball distribution based on his pass success rate of 73.1% in the top tier of English football (stats via whoscored).
Should Conte Be Worried About His Contract Situation?
Kane is definitely one of the best strikers in Europe; as he remains a deadly finisher inside the penalty box while he also has a knack for taking shots from a long range. The English international is a goal threat and can position himself in the right places to invite a few decent opportunities.
The 1.88 meters tall forward can easily dominate his opponents in the air and with a strong frame, he can hold off the defenders to get a few strikes in on target. The 29-year-old attacker can also make a few decisive passes to set up his teammates in front of the goal. He is in his prime and in great form recently, so a move away from North London could mean better chances at earning more silverware.
If he does not pen down a contract extension then Tottenham would very likely be in a difficult position with replacing a player of such quality. Conte should do everything he’s capable of to keep him in North London.
