Davies: Kane could not get a game at Tottenham

Tottenham defender Ben Davies has recalled a time when Harry Kane couldn't get a game.

England captain Kane left Spurs for Bayern Munich last summer.

"It was pretty crazy because when I arrived there were a few times when Harry wasn't even involved in the squad for games, but what you saw in training was that he was hungry," remembered Davies to The Gab & Juls Show. "You could see that he was an incredible finisher, that was the biggest thing that stands out.

"In training sessions, he would get the ball and you'd play a small-sided game and every single game he would score three or four goals. Maybe his link-up play wasn't there or his passing wasn't there, but he was so driven that 'when I get the ball it's going in the net' and you could see it over, and over and over.

"There were times at the start of the season when Pochettino came in he wasn't selected and he was coming on.

"Then at Villa away he came on and scored a free kick and never looked back in the team from then on. He's done pretty well!"
