Andy Johnson, Francis Jeffers, Benjani, Roque Santa Cruz, Mido, John Stead… there have been plenty of one-season wonders in the Premier League. These players usually emerge from nowhere, tend to score a hat full of goals and then slide off into mediocrity when the hype has well and truly got to them.

Could the next one be Harry Kane? Maybe. The Spurs ace seems to be following the path right now, with the forward having netted goal after goal this term after seemingly being found down the back of Mauricio Pochettino’s sofa next to a crinkled five pound note.

Kane has been excellent this term, and his contributions to the Lilywhites should not be underplayed, but we cannot help but feel that he’s a phenomenon that’s getting out of hand. After all, is he even that good?

‘One-season wonder’ status is beckoning, and here are FIVE reasons we think Kane could be next on the list…

Meteoric rise

Kane

The typical one-season wonder enjoys a staggering rise, followed by a massive fall. Kane was on his way out of the club last year and started this season with a role limited to Europa League and cup showings. The ailing from for Roberto Soldado and Emmanuel Adebayor saw him given a chance and, to his credit, he’s grabbed it. His form since has been staggering, but it bears all the hallmarks of the massive high, slip back to low trajectory of the one-season man.

Technically not an outstanding footballer

Kane’s game is all about energy, bustling running and commitment. Even the biggest fans of the striker will find it hard to argue that his technical abilities are up there with the Premier League’s best, with his finishing prowess some way off the likes of Sergio Aguero, Wayne Rooney and Daniel Sturridge. The top players stay at the top of the game for a reason, and Kane may well struggle when the bubble bursts.

Confidence player

With the aims and challenges falling on an almost weekly basis, Kane is really is full of confidence. It’s amazing what self-belief can do, with a lack of doubt key to how well the Spurs man is doing. The striker’s thought process is not blocked by bad experiences this season – you can count the amount of below-par games he’s had on one hand – but when the going gets tough, he may start to struggle.

Lucky?

This is a slightly contentious one. Some of Kane’s goals have been a little lucky. A number of his finishes have whistled just past goalkeepers, while he’s also benefitted from some poor defending on occasions. His debut England goal was a wee bit fortunate, too, with the ball squirming past the Lithuania ‘keeper before somehow making it over the line.

Teams will work him out

Kane

The League Cup Final is a prime example of how teams can react to the threat of Kane, Jose Mourinho set up his Chelsea side in a clever way, dropping an uber defensive midfielder – Kurt Zouma – into the space, preventing the Tottenham man from picking the ball up deep. The Frenchman was also able to occupy Christian Eriksen when Kane pushed forward, snipping the supply line to the hit-man.
