He also criticized his portrayal in the media amid a drought in front of goal – having scored just five this season after a record-breaking 2024/25 campaign – and pointed to former Tottenham talisman Kane as evidence of preferential treatment.

“I’m the top goalscorer, the best player, winning the league in this style, but I’m someone who has to defend myself in front of the media and the fans.”
