Arsenal legend Henry: Why Kane a complete striker

Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has declared Harry Kane as a "complete striker".

Henry admits he's impressed by the former Tottenham striker's progress with Bayern Munich.

The France U21 coach told Sky Sports: "Harry Kane's development has been outstanding. That's why I mentioned that goals don't show you win titles but it doesn't matter. Look how calm he is. When I went to see Kane, I said to him, 'Do you want to add plays to your game?' He said: 'To be honest I'm not happy with my assists and I should do more'. I have respect for people who talk and back it up.

"When we talk about a complete striker... I have said it so many times about Patrick Kluivert, that he was complete as a striker. I'm not saying he's the best striker in history, but a complete striker who could do everything. Kane can do anything.

"He (Kane) can come down into midfield, pass a ball to the winger, come and take the ball from the sitting midfielder and play through the lines. The way Kane is playing right now, he is a complete striker."
