The striker, who netted 31 goals in all competitions last season, went 12 hours and 28 minutes without scoring before registering in a 4-1 win against Manchester City on Saturday.
Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino claimed on Friday that Kane was struggling with confidence and fatigue after representing England Under-21s at the Euros during the summer, where he did not score in three games.
But Glenn has rejected that notion, claiming Tottenham's trips to Malaysia and Australia at the end of the previous season were more damaging. He told reporters: "It was great to see Harry score and the performances I have seen have certainly merited that reward.
"A number of our young players are thriving in the league, having played in the summer Under-21 tournament, although they didn’t all embark on commercial tours of the Far East with their clubs, as Harry had to with Spurs.
"International tournament experience is vital for our young players. Every nation to have won a major tournament can trace their success back to their development teams. We need to respect and recognise the importance of playing for England and the great benefits it can bring to young players."
