England captain Harry Kane insists Everton midfielder Dele Alli can still rescue his career.

The pair played together at Tottenham, with Alli this summer admitting he was abused as a child and has spent time in rehab for an addiction to sleeping pills.

Bayern Munich striker Kane said: "I think it was extremely brave of Dele to come out and give the interview the gave, we have known each other for a period of time but I didn't know the extent of what he had been through in his life for surey.

"It was eye-opening for me to hear that.

"I texted him after and said how much I think what he did will help a lot of other people share their feelings as well.

"I caught up with Dele in the summer, before the interview, and he seems to be on a good track, been working hard to get fit and so I can't wait to hopefully see him back out and playing football again.

"I think he is in a better place now and he has a lot of time left in his career and I really hope he can get back on track and play week in and week out."
