Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew is wary facing Tottenham striker Harry Kane tonight in the Capital One Cup.

Pardew admits he is a big fan of the 21-year-old, who scored his 11th of the season and ran a staggering 8.2 miles during Sunday's 2-1 win at Swansea.

"I think he is fabulous," said the Newcastle manager when asked about the in-form forward.

"I watched him on Sunday and when you have got an English striker who can do 13km at pace and have the quality and technical ability in the box, Roy Hodgson should count himself very lucky."
