Tottenham striker Harry Kane has heaped praise on Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino, saying the Argentine has everyone at the North London club 'striving for greatness'.

Spurs currently sit in second place on the Premier League ladder, five points behind league leaders Leicester City and Kane believes Pochettino deserves much of the credit for Tottenham's impressive season to date.

"The gaffer is a great manager who has been good for everyone at the club," Kane said.

"He has changed our philosophy and everyone is striving for greatness.

"Obviously he's a great manager and it's important he does not leave, but that's down to him. He's done great things here already and he's only been here a short time.

"The time to worry is when nobody is looking at you. He's a top manager, a top-class man as well and it is all positive at the moment, but we are not getting too carried away.

"There hasn't really been a lot of talk about the title because the games have been coming so thick and fast.

"But we are still in three competitions where we are trying to achieve good things."
