The 2021-22 Premier League campaign has been a nightmare for Tottenham Hotspur captain Harry Kane as he has just one goal so far after playing 1098 minutes in 13 matches.
It is hard to believe that the man who won three Premier League Golden Boot awards in the last five seasons including one in the 2020-21 season, has struggled to get going. In fact, his last goal in the Premier League was more than a month back against Newcastle United on October 17, 2021.
The English forward's best Premier League performances came in the 2016-17 and 2017-18 season where he scored 29 and 30 goals respectively with a goal scored in every 87 and 102 minutes each.

In the recently concluded international break in November, England played two 2022 World Cup qualifying games against Albania and Malta and won 5-0 and 10-0 respectively. The skipper scored two hat-tricks in as many games, which included a four-goal haul against Malta.
With only 24 matches left in the season, it will be interesting to see if Kane manages to cross double figures.
