Harry Kane is desperate to help Tottenham get back to winning ways after scoring on his return from injury against Arsenal on Sunday.
The 23-year old, who has returned to the England fold for the forthcoming internationals against Scotland and Spain, insists he is ready to lead Spurs' attacking line after slotting home a penalty to earn his side a point in Sunday's 1-1 draw at Arsenal.
"It has been difficult, especially with the team going through a bit of a spell where we haven't been winning games," Kane said.
"It's hard. It's like watching my family - I just want to be out there helping them. But it's part of it. I was there training with the team, I was around them."
The forward was sidelined in mid-September after suffering ankle ligament damage in Spurs' 1-0 win over Sunderland at White Hart Lane but made his eagerly anticipated return to Mauricio Pochettino's starting XI at the weekend.
Kane added: "It has been a difficult spell for us but we came out against Arsenal and played very well, we could have even nicked it.
"I felt fine. I have been working hard to be ready and I wouldn't have been out there if I wasn't feeling good enough."
The England international missed 10 games for Tottenham, the last six of which the club failed to win or find the back of the net from open play, but as his side remain unbeaten in the league, Kane denies claims the form is a "crisis".
"In the week, people were talking about Tottenham being in crisis, we haven't lost yet in the Premier League," he said.
"Obviously the Champions League was disappointing but I think it is funny when you're unbeaten in the league and it is a crisis.
"We did well [against Arsenal], sometimes it is nice to freshen it up, do something different and new, we enjoyed it and I think it went well.
Kane admitted he relishes the role as Tottenham's go-to man for goals and was delighted to mark his comeback from a seven-week injury lay-off by adding his name to the scoresheet.
"Yes, it's what it's all about. I'm in the team to score goals," he said.
"I try and score as many as I can in the season to help the team out. Whenever I'm on the pitch I feel confident.
"I'm happy with it. I still need to get some match fitness, but I was delighted to be out there and to score."
