Kane - I want to play & score in the important games
2 min read
Harry Kane now wants to push on, play games and score goals in the important games this season.
It's refreshing to come across a player for whom it is an honour to play for the club and not just a player using meaningless PR words. He spoke to Spurs TV after he signed his new 5-year-deal on Thursday and told of his plans for the future.
Being a local lad and coming through the academy system gives him a sense of identity more so than a foreign player brought into the club and it's important Spurs have that link.
The game seems to be about money mercenaries now, players that are here for a few years and then move on. The importance of players who stick around can't be over estimated so for Kane to sign a new contract has a special meaning for him.
He exploded onto the scene with 3 goals in 3 games last season plus play that showed he belonged in the Premier League. He combined well with Emmanuel Adebayor and has scored a couple in pre-season to keep the pressure on Roberto Soldado.
Scoring goals when he gets another chance will heap further pressure on the Spaniard.

"I'm very happy to sign this deal and very excited for the future now and hopefully I can push on this season. I'm very proud to have signed it.
It doesn't seem that long ago [first day in the academy] it seems to have gone that quick and now to be signing a new deal to 2019 is a great honour and brings me great pride. It's gone quick, there have been a lot of ups and downs on the way but now I'm very happy to be here and looking forward to the future."

"For sure, like I say it's one of the proudest days of my footballing career. It's been a great honour to be at a club that I've loved from a kid growing up watching them and now to be part of that is, like I say a great honour.
"I had great learning spells that got me great experience at vital time in my career, that helped me along the way and last year I took the chance when I got it, scored them goals, which was obviously a very proud moment for me and hopefully I can do some more of that this season and get some goals.
"[My plan] Is to keep playing and keep scoring goals, as a striker you want to be out there playing, in big games and getting your goals, I hope to do it this season."

Great vision and awareness to pick out players in attack. Can hold up player and head the ball.
Negatives: takes long time to get his shots away, need to improve feet quickness to elimate the sluggishness inside the box when trying to take shots.
Also, he looks like a vintage Englishman from the 40's black and white TV shows.
