Harry Kane has been the crown jewel for Tottenham over the previous few seasons but the forward has seen a major slump in form this time around.
Last season, he had netted 23 goals and provided 14 assists in 35 Premier League games. But ever since he’s returned from holiday post the Euros, the England international has struggled to find his old form back.
In seven matches so far, Harry Kane has managed to score only one goal and with a key game vs West Ham United coming up, he as well as his manager are under a whole lot of pressure.
Some pundits have advised Nuno to drop the forward to the bench but surely he won’t be taking such a gamble, simply cause the forward provides a lot more than just score goals.
Even Hammers defender Kurt Zouma has come out to admit that Harry Kane has the ability to change the outcome of a match singlehandedly.
He told Evening Standard: “You never know what can happen with him (Kane). You always have to be focused and concentrated and tight on him.”

Harry Kane has really struggled to score goals in the Premier League this season(he’s scored three in the Conference League) but his personal record against West Ham United is very good. And Nuno will be hoping that his main centre-forward can find his mojo back on Sunday.
In 16 appearances, the 28-year-old has scored 11 goals and provided two assists against West Ham United. While Spurs have lost five times to the Hammers while he’s been around but Kane certainly knows where the goal is when he’s playing against the London rivals.
The Hammers might be playing so fine football this season but they have conceded 10 goals so far in the league so there’s very little chance of them keeping a clean sheet on Sunday.
