England coach Gareth Southgate believes Fernando Llorente will help Harry Kane's form at Tottenham this season.

Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino has already been able to take Kane off in five of Tottenham's past six matches.

"Kane looked tired last summer. I think signing Llorente might help that," said Southgate. "Those latter stages of games are the ones that have a real physical impact. I'm not a huge believer in burn-out if you do things right.

"There needs to be some mental switch-off at the end of the season but the danger there is that you tail off too much and then can't get back.

"It requires all the players to be looking after themselves right. Somebody like Harry will do that. He does whatever it takes to give himself the best chance, he's meticulous about his diet, meticulous about the way he recovers from games."
