Leeds United striker Patrick Bamford has really bigged up Tottenham Hotspur goal machine and new England teammate Harry Kane.
Bamford has finally been rewarded with an England call-up after 17 Premier League goals last season, joining Leeds teammate Kalvin Phillips in the England picture.
The 27-year-old will be hoping for a debut against Andorra today, and has been speaking about a number of subjects on England’s official YouTube channel.
When asked about an England five-a-side team, Bamford named Tottenham star Kane as one of his selections.
Bamford noted that he has loved Kane from afar, mostly because of just how cleanly he can shoot on either foot.
Bamford is ‘amazed’ by that skill, and has admitted that he would love to learn that kind of attribute from Kane during England training.
“Obviously he’s a great striker, but it amazes me how clean his contact is on the ball every time, right and left foot, so that’s stuff I can learn from him,” said Bamford.
This is where things could really benefit Leeds.
Having their star men travel more and play more games isn’t ideal, but Bamford will now be training with one of the best strikers in the world.
Taking little pointers and tips from Kane could help Bamford become even more of a goal threat for Leeds, bolstering Marcelo Bielsa’s hopes at Elland Road.
Bamford recently signed a new contract to kill off Tottenham’s interest in him, so at least Leeds fans know he won’t be playing with Kane on the club scene any time soon.
