Harry Kane 'has the hump' and is failing to 'lead by example' at Tottenham, insists Teddy Sheringham... as he urges England captain to put failed Man City move behind him and 'do better'

Tottenham striker Harry Kane is playing like someone who has the hump and who has shirked his leadership responsibilities, according to Teddy Sheringham.

The England captain was desperate to leave the north London side in the summer, with Premier League champions Manchester City heavily linked with a £150million move.

But the 28-year-old was forced to admit defeat in his hopes of securing a move away to a Champions League outfit and ended up staying at Nuno Espirito Santo's men.

Kane however has made a modest start to the new season, scoring just once in eight Premier League games and just seven in 12 across all competitions.
