The Tottenham Hotspur striker has been in sensational form of late.

Diego Maradona is introduced to the crowd at half time during the Premier League match between Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool at Wembley Stadium on October 22, 2017 in London, England.

Footballing legend Diego Maradona had some interesting advice for Spurs hitman Harry Kane when the pair met before Tottenham took on Liverpool on Sunday afternoon, as quoted by the Daily Mail.

The 24-year-old has been in sensational form for the Lilywhites this season, netting 13 times in 12 appearances in all competitions for Mauricio Pochettino’s side.

Kane’s two goals against the Reds on Sunday took his tally to 112 for the north London outfit, and he has now truly established himself as one of the world’s most feared frontmen.

There is still room for improvement, however, according to Argentine great Maradona.

The 56-year-old met Kane before Spurs took to the field against Liverpool, and offered some interesting advice to the England international, as quoted by the Daily Mail:

“Don’t always go near post with your shots. Go across goal sometimes. You know why? Goalkeepers watch you on TV all the time. So next time… across!”

If Tottenham are to challenge for major honours on all fronts this season they will need Kane to be at his absolute best for the entirety of the campaign.

And who knows…maybe Maradona’s wise words will help the 24-year-old reach even higher levels.

It is debatable, however, whether that is actually possible at the moment.
