Striker Harry Kane has the mental strength needed to rediscover his scoring form and one day become the lynchpin of the England squad, according to former Three Lions forward Les Ferdinand.
The 22-year-old headed off on international duty having yet to find the net in four club appearances this season.
Kane notched 31 goals for Tottenham as well as scoring on his senior international debut in a major breakthrough season last term, before then enduring a disappointing summer as the England under-21s suffered an early exit from the Euro 2015 finals in the Czech Republic.
Ferdinand, who was part of the coaching set-up at White Hart Lane alongside former manager Tim Sherwood, is in no doubt Kane will soon be back on the goal trail.
"All strikers go through periods where they do not score goals, but it is how you cope with that. Right now, it is his mental strength [which is the most impressive characteristic]," Ferdinand, who was capped 17 times by England and was part of the 1998 World Cup squad, told Press Association Sport.
"A lot of people will not have seen that from Harry, all they will have seen him scoring goals week in and week out for Spurs last season.
"Now, it is about his mentality and people will see how determined and focused Harry is.
"Most of the strikers know you will have dips in your career when you are not hitting the back of the net as frequently as you were.
"What I used to do was go back and just refresh my memory on some of the goals I used to score, then you realise you can still do it and are just waiting for that first one, that bit of a break, bit of luck, then you are off and running again, and you think 'what was I worried about?'
"When you look at Harry Kane, with his determination and ability he has got, you look at him and think that yes, he could be the lynchpin for England going forwards."
Ferdinand, a patron of the forCrohn's charity, is now director of football at Queens Park Rangers.
The Hoops were relegated from the Barclays Premier League last season, but have won three from their first five matches back in the Sky Bet Championship to sit fourth in the table.
Many expected forward Charlie Austin, who had been touted for an England call-up to the Euro 2016 qualifiers against San Marino and Switzerland alongside Kane, to be sold during the transfer window.
Ferdinand, though, believes that shows the determination of the west London club to secure a swift return to the top flight.
"We have started to find our feet in the division and hopefully we can continue that," the 48-year-old said.
"Everyone thought we were in trouble and had to get rid of all of our big hitters, but we have to be sensible at the club, and it is good to keep hold of those guys who hopefully can get us into a position where we are knocking on the door of the Premier League."
Ferdinand said: "It is a cause close to my heart because I have members of the family with Crohn's and hopefully by doing these walks we can help raise awareness and get people to take the information on board.
"Since I have not done pre-season any more, the 10km walk takes a bit out of me, but I still manage to get round."
