Tottenham Hotspur star Harry Kane is one of the best strikers in the world.

Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane has been quoted as saying in Guillem Balague’s book Brave New World, which is being serialised by The Daily Mail, that he had issues with his weight.

The England international striker has revealed that back in pre-season of 2014, he had a problem with his weight.

“That [first] pre-season [under Pochettino in 2014] I came back from holiday and I thought I was in OK shape,” Kane is quoted as saying in Guillem Balague’s book Brave New World, which is being serialised by The Daily Mail. “We had our body fat test done and I was the highest in the team, something like 18 per cent!

“I didn’t really want to believe it. I was like, ‘Aargh! This is wrong!’ He had his own little drills, his own fitness test — it’s called the Gacons. It’s a run that gets progressively harder.”

The 2014-15 campaign was actually Kane’s breakthrough season, and the 24-year-old striker has not looked back ever since.

The England international has won the Premier League Golden Boot for the past two seasons, and one should not be surprised if he makes wins it three years in a row.

Kane is doing well at the moment, and has scored six goals in the Premier League and five goals in the Champions League.

Tottenham are aiming to win the Premier League title this season, as well as progress to the knockout rounds of the Champions League.

Spurs will take on Spanish and European giants Real Madrid in the Champions League in their next game.
