Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane will be hoping to make an early return from injury ahead of a busy schedule.
Former Premier League player Harry Kewell has waxed-lyrical about Tottenham striker Harry Kane and shared that he has sat down with other managers to discuss how much of a ‘great’ player he is.
The 25-year-old hitman, who is currently on the sidelines with an injury, has scored 122 league goals so far in his career and is on course to break a number of big records if he continues in his ways.
Sky Sports reported on Friday that Kane could potentially make an early return to the Tottenham squad later this month after he injured his ankle during his side’s defeat against Manchester United in mid-January.
Nonetheless, former Liverpool man Kewell shared that he has had conversations with other managers, notably Harry Redknapp, about the lack of weaknesses in Kane’s game.
“I have sat around a number of managers and we speak about great players in this day and age,” Kewell told the Debate Show on Sky Sports on 08/02/2019. “When I sat down with Harry Redknapp, he spoke about Harry Kane and he said ‘what a phenomenal player’.
“When you come across a striker that can hold the ball up, that can turn, knows where the target is, can get you out of trouble, can head the ball and can go past people. That’s a striker. He has got all that. And he can finish with both feet.”
It is not just in club football where Kane is proving his worth, he is producing the goods for England on the international stage too.
The London-born player has played 35 games for his country, finding the back of the net on 20 occasions, including six strikes during last summers World Cup in Russia.
Over the course of this season, he has played 31 games for his side in all competitions, scoring 20 goals and supplying his teammates with six assists.
In his absence, Mauricio Pochettino has opted to play backup forward Fernando Llorente up front, with the versatile Heung-min Son also providing attacking intent in the final third.
Spurs will be hoping to keep their Premier League title hopes alive when they welcome Claude Puel Leicester City to Wembley on Sunday afternoon.
