Harry Kane calls for Premier League cancellation amid COVID-19

Who says the Premier League is quiet? As the coronavirus continues to lay waste to sports schedules across the globe and the top stars in England go through self-isolation and quarantine, one man has stirred up a bit of a hornets' nest.

Tottenham Hotspur's injury-plagued star striker Harry Kane has thrown his weight behind a call-off of the 2019-20 season if things do not get back under way soon. A cancellation of the season would really - really - work in Spurs' favour, as they languish in eighth place in the Premier League standings on 41 points.

That is a gargantuan but unwantedly, embarrassingly symmetrical 41 points behind leaders Liverpool. The Reds have dominated all season and should already be celebrating their first top-flight title in 30 years and a first ever Premer League accolade.

But then came COVID19, which rightly showed the entire sporting world the red card in the name of human health and safety, meaning Liverpool's title party is still on hold.

To contain the spread of the virus, the English football season has been suspended until April 30 at the earliest. Uefa chief Aleksandr Ceferin has admitted he fears that the top- flight leagues across

Europe will struggle to be concluded due to a back-log of fixtures, and a cancellation - a wipe-the-slate scenario, if you will - is very much on the cards, should players not be able to take to the field before the end of June.

This is something that would massively help mediocre Tottenham - the 2019 Champions League finalists, as a cancelled season would reinstate them in next season's competition along with all the other 2018-19 qualifiers.
