Dwight Yorke has told Tottenham Hotspur centre-forward Harry Kane that he must "relax" in order to end his Premier League goal drought.

The England frontman, who found the net twice while on international duty against San Marino and Switzerland last week, scored 31 goals in all competitions last term.

However, having failed to get his name on the scoresheet during this afternoon's 1-0 win away at Sunderland, Kane is still without a goal for Spurs this season.

Despite that, former Manchester United striker Yorke has insisted that the 22-year-old will eventually rediscover his goalscoring touch.

"Maybe he is trying too hard. He had one or two good opportunties again. Last year he would have passed it in, but he went for power on a couple of occasions [today]," Yorke told Sky Sports News.

"He just needs to relax. It will happen for him, there's no doubt. He's too good of a player."

In total, Kane has scored 36 goals in 81 outings for the North Londoners.
