Mou's mission: get Kane firing again

2017 with his 56 goals seems a long time ago now. That year, he scored more goals than players like Leo Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Edinson Cavani and Robert Lewandowski. Since then, his contribution in attack has dropped significantly. 

In the 2017/18 season, as can be seen in 'ProFootballDB's data, he scored 41 goals and gave three assists; in the following season, he scored 24 and set up six goals while this term, he has scored 17 and given two assists. 

It is the new trend for Kane. Despite being more clinical, he is creating less. The proof is in that he is shooting less, scoring less and trying less dribbles, but he is scoring more and dribbling more successfully. 

All these stats have also come about because of the important injuries the footballer has suffered. In fact, currently, he is out of action and he will not be back until April. That could make the club look for a substitute for the second half of the Premier League.

In the transfer market, there are a large amount of possible new strikers, but no one is as devastating as Kane and that is Mou's main mission: get him back to his best both physically and mentally. He will have to work hard to do that. 

The attacker will be available again, in the best case scenario, for the last eight games of the season and the crunch Champions League games - if Spurs make it that far -. Returning to his best will be key to improve on some disappointing results. 

That said, the danger is a new signing may end up taking his place. Four months is a very long time and Mou might have found a striker who scores as many goals as Kane at his peak.
