Harry Kane scored twice against West Ham in the Premier League on Saturday.

West Ham skipper Mark Noble has showered praise on Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane, following the latter’s brilliant performance in the London derby on Saturday.

Kane scored two goals for Spurs as they registered a 3-2 win over their London rivals at the London Stadium.

The 24-year-old striker, who reached 100 goals for Spurs earlier this month, took his goal tally to four in the Premier League this season.

Kane has been receiving rich plaudits for his performances, with West Ham manager Slaven Bilic labelling him as one of the best strikers in the world at the moment.

Noble has spoken highly of Kane, saying that the England striker easily has to be worth £100 million in today’s market.

The 30-year-old, while highlighting Kane’s attributes, said that the best part of his game is that he always gets in the right position to score.

He added that Spurs are reaping the benefit from providing a platform to players from youth ranks. However, Noble believes that it’s not often a team gets a player of Kane’s caliber.

With that win, Spurs have moved to fourth in the Premier League, with 11 points from six games.

“He easily has to be worth £100million-plus because he gets goals and goals in this game are hard to come by and you pay a premium for that,” Noble said, as quoted by The Daily Mail.

“You can spend, like they did when they sold Gareth Bale — they went and spent £120m.

“But you bring Harry Kane back to the club, give him a chance and Pochettino puts his arm around him and he’s reaping the benefits of that now.

“He gets two chances and he scores two goals. I know for the second the ball came straight to him and he had an open net to pass it into but he’s always in the right place at the right time.

“It’s not often you get a talent like Harry come through the ranks and score goals like he does. They have kept him too and if he keeps on playing like he is they are going to have to be strong to keep him.”
