He can do everything [Harry Kane]. When you look at him. When you watch and know the boy. He trains and works at his game like you wouldn’t believe.

“He’ll be out on that training pitch when they are back in tomorrow morning when everybody else has gone back in. He will be out there for 30 minutes. Doing his shooting. Doing whatever he wants to work on. Non-stop working. He wants to work all the time. Amazing attitude.”
