The Tottenham striker has an excellent record against Arsenal.

Former Arsenal defender Emmanuel Eboue has urged his side to keep Harry Kane quiet on Saturday and compared the Tottenham Hotspur striker to Bayern Munich star Robert Lewandowski.

Kane has won the Premier League golden boot in each of the past two campaigns and is currently the joint-leading scorer in the division this season as he is level with Manchester City’s Sergio Aguero on eight goals.

It is anticipated that Kane will be back fit to face Arsenal at Emirates Stadium on Saturday and Eboue is wary of the threat that the England international will provide.

As reported by Goal, Eboue said: “Tottenham is a good team. When you play against them you never know if they’re going to score or not.

“Harry Kane this year is unbelievable. Everywhere he shoots it’s a goal. He’s like Lewandowski.”

Kane possesses an excellent record against Arsenal – he has scored six goals in as many games against them – and will be determined to add to his tally further this weekend.

As Eboue alludes to, Kane is capable of finding the net from many different angles, but he is far from the only threat that Tottenham possess, especially with Christian Eriksen sure to be full of confidence following his hat-trick against the Republic of Ireland that saw Denmark secure World Cup qualification.

Going into the game Tottenham are third in the table, three places and four points ahead of Arsenal.
