Tottenham striker Harry Kane says he "lost his head" after being nutmegged by Dele Alli in training during the early stages of the midfielder's career at White Hart Lane, reports the London Evening Standard.

Alli signed for Spurs from MK Dons during the 2015 January transfer window and was immediately loaned back to the League One club.

But the 20-year-old joined up with the rest of Mauricio Pochettino's squad ahead of the 2015/16 season and made an immediate impact.

"When he first came to Spurs we were training and he was young and had just come from MK Dons," Kane told SoccerAM.

"I weren't expecting it but he 'megged me. I lost my head a bit and tried to take him out thinking 'Who's this young player coming in and nutmegging me?'

"I chased him round for a few minutes but I didn't want to get nutmegged again so just stayed up front!"

"That's the thing with him - when he came into Spurs he had that confidence straight away and knew he was going to be part of the team.

"When he got bought no-one really knew if he would be on the fringes but he had that confidence straight away and you can see how quickly he has developed," Kane added.
