Premier League defender Sol Bamba has shared that Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane is ‘very vocal’ on the football pitch and revealed that he is always telling his teammates what to do.

Cardiff defender Bamba has come up against Kane on two occasions this season and suffered two defeats, the most recent was Spurs’ 3-0 win at the start of January in Wales.

While Kane did get on the scoresheet when they first met at the start of the season, he did bag a goal and an assist last month.

Speaking to the Football Centre on Sky Sports News (27/02/2019 at 11:25 am), powerful centre-back Bamba shared an interesting insight into what Kane is like to play against and what he says on the field of play.

“When he [Kane] makes a movement, he asks Son and Sissoko to go behind him when he drops deep,” Bamba told Sky Sports News. “If he stays up front, he wants to link up play with Eriksen and Son or the likes of Danny Rose when they bomb forward.

“He’s vocal. Exactly [he’s like the conductor]. He’s the leader. He’s the vice-captain. He’s very vocal and speaks a lot on the pitch.”

There is no doubt that Kane is one of the best forwards in the game and he would be a nightmare for any defender, even on his off day.

Over the course of the season, he has played 33 matches in all competitions, scoring 21 goals and supplying his teammates with six assists along the way [transfermarkt].

In the last few seasons, he has finished as the Premier League’s top-scorer and he will be looking to reclaim that crown once again, but recent injuries have not helped.

Over the weekend, he returned from a knee injury during his side’s 2-1 defeat at Burnley, where he scored the equalising goal, but he wasn’t able to make an impact as Spurs suffered a damaging 2-0 defeat at Chelsea on Wednesday night.
