Ex-Premier League goalkeeper turned footballing pundit Paul Robinson has given a worrying assessment of Tottenham Hotspur and England star Harry Kane.
Currently away on international duty with England, star striker Kane continues to see his long-term domestic future speculated.
The backend of last season saw the English talisman go semi-public during an interview with Gary Neville, detailing his desire to move on from Tottenham Hotspur.

However, seemingly reluctant to see his prized asset depart, Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy appears hesitant to sanction a sale.
Earlier this week, it was reported by Sky Sports that title holders Manchester City had launched a stunning £100m bid – however, it appears Levy has no interest in accepting such approaches.
Despite helping the Three Lions qualify out of their Euros 2020 group to set up a nerve-wracking Last 16 tie against Germany, Kane has endured a tough run of form.
Goalless and seemingly a shadow of his former self, Robinson, who spoke exclusively to Football Insider, believes the striker’s uncertain future is impacting his on-field performances.
“I thought Kane was a lot better against Czech Republic,” Robinson said. “It looks to me as if he is playing with a heavy head at the moment though. He seems to have a lot on his shoulders…it’s unbelievable.
“We have seen him play carefree. We know what he can do when he is bang at it. He is such a talented player.
“This is maybe the first time he has been questioned for not playing as well as we know he can.
“It wasn’t for a lack of effort on Tuesday. It was definitely a step in the right direction.
“Gareth Southgate left him on for the full 90 because he knows a goal would have lifted a burden off his shoulders.
“In all honesty, he has not been the same player since he made it public he wants to leave Spurs. I think he was badly advised in regards to the timing of it all. From then on he has not been the same player.”
