before the goals starting flowing again for Tottenham
striker Harry Kane.
Struggling Tottenham striker Harry Kane is no one-season
wonder, according to team-mate Jan Vertonghen.
The England international is still yet to find the net for his club
this season, including in over 500 Premier League minutes.
Coming off a campaign during which he scored 21 league goals,
Kane's struggles mirror his team's – with Mauricio Pochettino's
men ninth in the Premier League table.
Vertonghen backed Kane to turn his fortunes around and
believes it is only a matter of time for the 22-year-old.
"He has just been a bit unlucky. He scored for England and in
the training sessions he has been doing very well, so the goals
will come," he said.
"He's not a guy who will just have one good season and then
you never see him again. He has the qualities to perform and
the goals will come eventually."
Vertonghen is optimistic about Tottenham's future after their
much-needed win over Crystal Palace on Sunday.
A second-half goal from Son Heung-min was enough to give
Spurs just their second win of the league season and
Vertonghen said he was excited about what the future held.
"We looked very solid for 90 minutes, we played well at the start
of the season but we weren't that focused at the end of the
games," the defender said ahead of Wednesday's League Cup
clash against Arsenal.
"But things are looking very good. We have great young players
and a good mix, so there are great things for the team if we can
keep working like this.
"It looks very good for the future."
