Arsenal boss Unai Emery has told Football London that he thinks Tottenham Hotspur striker is a ‘great player’.

Tottenham are set to take on Arsenal on Sunday, with both sides under pressure to come out on top in the North London derby.

Tottenham have started the season in underwhelming fashion, with questions being asked of Mauricio Pochettino’s side already.

Arsenal also were beaten in their last outing against Liverpool.

The loser of Sunday’s game is sure to face a great deal of criticism from their own supporters.

But Emery insists that his side cannot go into the game fearing what Tottenham forward Kane can do to them, despite his obvious talents.

“Kane is a big and great player for them,” Emery said, when asked about his plans to stop the England captain.

Harry Kane of Tottenham Hotspur warms up prior to the Premier League match between Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur at Etihad Stadium on August 17, 2019 in Manchester, United Kingdom.

“But we also have very big and great players in our team. We are going to play with our game plan and also with respect to them, but also believing in our game plan and in our players and in our supporters, because they are going to help us.

“We need also to stop them, but thinking also that we have very good players to do that. Also, to show our best capacity and best performance on Sunday.”

Kane has a happy knack of scoring in North London derbies, with his goalscoring record in the fixtures very strong.

Kane has two goals to his name this season, but has not scored since opening day.
