Pundit claims former Spurs star is ‘killing’ his team right now
There have not been a wide range of Tottenham Hotspur players taking part in Euro 2024 over the past month, but one player with a long history associated with the club has been underperforming for his country.
Harry Kane’s form has been called into question
That’s the opinion of former Tottenham midfielder, Jamie O’Hara, who has criticised the performances of Harry Kane for England at the tournament.
Speaking to talkSPORT, O’Hara said: “Kane doesn’t look fit, he is killing the team. You can’t argue against the fact that Kane hasn’t been performing.
“If we lose a game, it’s not because Kane hasn’t been on the pitch, because he has been ineffective anyway. He isn’t fit – you play either Ivan Toney or Ollie Watkins.”
When asked by Gareth Southgate continues to start Kane, O’Hara added: “Because he is called Harry Kane. We have got a [Cristiano] Ronaldo situation. I have said it before. We have got a Ronaldo situation. He isn’t the best striker in Europe.”
O’Hara calls for ‘unfit’ Kane to be replaced
Kane has two goals at Euro 2024 so far, including the winning goal against Slovakia in the round of 16. However, the Bayern Munich man was taken off in extra-time against Switzerland before the penalty shootout after struggling to make an impact on the game.
He went into the tournament on the back of an incredible season, at least on a personal level, for Bayern, where he scored 44 goals in 45 games for his new club (Transfermarkt).
However, Kane failed to end his trophy drought with Bayern and will now be hoping he can lead the Three Lions to glory in Germany over the next week.

There’s no way Southgate would drop Kane from the starting lineup. He’s the England captain and he’s one of the best strikers in the game on his day, and I think you have to stick with him just in case he produces something special.
That said, he doesn’t look 100%, and I would be surprised if he lasts the full game against the Netherlands.
