Leicester City boss Nigel Pearson is pleased for Harry Kane over his success with Tottenham this season.

Kane endured a difficult loan spell with the Foxes last year.

"Harry came in at a difficult time for us and I think for him," said the Leicester manager. "We were in a terrible run then just as we are now. So it wasn't always easy for him, but he handled himself exceptionally well.

"Of course, he's a couple of years older now, with more experience - and as a very likeable and level-headed young man, as he was then, he's proved to be an outstanding talent.

"I'd like to think he'd look back on his time here as valuable, whether in terms of the appearances he made or of being able to deal with setbacks in football.

"In hindsight you learn as much from the difficult times as you do from the positive. Harry was very popular and the staff rated him highly."
