4 world-class players who are out of form

#2 Harry Kane

Harry Kane has struggled to get going this season.

Harry Kane had one of his best campaigns in club football -- 33 goals, 17 assists across competitions -- last season. He followed that up with a sparkling Euro 2020 campaign, scoring four goals to help England reach their first major final in over five decades.

However, after a move to Manchester City did not materialize in the offseason, Kane has largely struggled to get going this season. He has scored thrice in seven games, but none of those strikes have come in the Premier League.

Of course, a short offseason didn't help Kane's cause, as he was not match-fit at the start of the new season. That appears to be the case a month into the new campaign as well.

Tottenham enjoyed a rousing start to the season, winning their first three games without conceding to go top of the table. But Spurs' early-season form cooled off, and they fell to successive 3-0 defeats in their next two games.

It is imperative that Kane rediscovers his mojo soon as Nuno Espirito Santo's men hope to stay within touching distance of the top teams.

#1 Lionel Messi

Lionel Messi is yet to score for PSG.

Lionel Messi has experienced contrasting emotions this summer. He led from the front for Argentina, scoring four goals and providing five assists, as they ended their near three-decade-long trophy drought at Copa America 2021.

After a vacation, Messi returned to Barcelona, only to learn that the club wouldn't be extending his contract owing to La Liga's financial fair play rules. PSG soon snapped up the services of Messi, whose 17-season stint at Camp Nou drew to an unexpected close.

However, the Argentinian, widely regarded as one of the best players of all time, has struggled to get going at his new club. Visibly short of match fitness, Messi is yet to score for PSG. He has struck the woodwork twice, but he has not looked at his fluent best.

Messi's indifferent form is hardly a matter of concern for manager Mauricio Pochettino, though. That's because a star-studded PSG are already seven points clear at the top of Ligue 1 this early in the season. Although they were held to a draw at Club Brugge in their Champions League opener, PSG are expected to make another deep run in the competition.

It is surely only a matter of time before Messi rediscovers his stride and wreaks havoc with his attacking colleagues Neymar and Kylian Mbappe.
