Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane is now widely considered to be one of the best in the business.

Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino spoke to the media in the aftermath of his side’s 4-0 win over Stoke City yesterday, and hailed the recent form of star striker Harry Kane, highlighting the 23-year-old’s character as something that can help him go on to become a legend at White Hart Lane, as quoted by the Independent.

The England international striker has been in sensational form for Tottenham so far this season, scoring 22 goals in 27 appearances in all competitions.

That tally is even more impressive when it is considered that he was absent for six weeks after sustaining a serious ankle injury earlier on in the campaign.

And Pochettino spoke to reporters during his post-match press conference, citing Kane’s character and personality as something special, as quoted by the Independent:

“Harry has the profile to be a legend. Maybe he is starting to be a legend with the goals he is scoring and the way that he behaves. He has his character. Sometimes he argues with me, sometimes he’s upset with me, sometimes he’s happy. He has a strong character. He showed his personality today.”

The 23-year-old’s goals to games ratio throughout his entire career with Tottenham is exceptional, with 86 goals in 154 outings thus far.

And with a man like Kane amongst their ranks, the north Londoners cannot be ruled out of the title race just yet.

They currently sit in second spot in the Premier League table, albeit a distant 10 points behind league leaders Chelsea, and they will need Kane to be at his very best if they are to stand any chance whatsoever of catching Antonio Conte’s side.
