Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino has revealed that he is not worried about Harry Kane's Premier League goal drought.

The 22-year-old striker scored 31 goals in all competitions last season but is yet to score during the current campaign.

The forward missed a gilt-edged chance during Spurs' 0-0 draw with Everton at White Hart Lane but Pochettino is adamant that he is unconcerned about Kane's slow start.

"The top scorers top in the world always have some difficult periods when its difficult to score and maybe now for him the beginning of the season is difficult for him.

"We know we don't need to speak too much we don't need to put more pressure on hiss shoulders. If he follows the same way he will start to score.

"I am happy with him. I'm not worried about that I think in the next few weeks he will show that he can score," said the Argentine coach.

Meanwhile, Kane is expected to be named in Roy Hodgson's England squad next week, despite his goal drought, and Pochettino admitted that it could do the striker good to spend some time with the national team.

"Maybe, yes. I think the announcement is tomorrow - maybe it's good," he said.
