Pochettino said: "I think Harry has the profile to be a legend here.

"Maybe he has started to be a legend with all the goals that he is scoring, how he behaves, how professional he is.

"He has a perfect profile to be a Tottenham legend. He's one of the best [in the world] and I'm very pleased for him. He deserves it - he's a top man.

"He has his character. Sometimes he argues with me, sometimes he is upset with me, sometimes he is happy. He has a strong character."
