Harry Kane has insisted that the current Spurs side do not fear anyone, as they enter a crucial period of the season with games against West Ham and Arsenal in the space of three days.
Speaking ahead of the trip to Upton Park to Spurs TV, Kane said:
“We’re looking forward to it this week – we don’t fear anyone so these next two games for us are just about going out there and doing what we’ve been doing,”
He also spoke about the difficultly of playing against West Ham at Upton Park, with the Hammers unbeaten at home since August.
Kane said:
“It’s going to be tough at Upton Park first of all. West Ham are good at home, they’re on a good run of form but so are we so it’s going to be a good game.
“Obviously their fans will be up for it but so will ours so it’s going to be a great atmosphere on the night and we’re looking forward to it. Hopefully we can go there and get the three points.”
Since breaking his nose during the FA Cup defeat against Crystal Palace two weeks ago, Kane has played in a protective mask. But he insists that this has not effect on his ability to perform and win aerial challenges.
“It’s fine. Once you get into the game and you’re running about you kind of just forget it’s there,” he added.
“You jump up like normal to try to win headers for the team so it’s no problem for me and I’m happy to wear it. I’ve had the operation on my nose now so it’s a bit sore but that mask is there to protect it so there’s no fear from my side.”
Kane will be hoping that he can end his recent goal drought at Upton Park, having not scored in his last four games and having not scored in open play for a month.
