Spurs legend Hoddle: I was convinced by Kane as soon as I saw him

Tottenham legend Glenn Hoddle was convinced by Harry Kane the first time he saw him in action.

Kane and Spurs meet Chelsea today.

"You could see him as the real deal as soon as he came into the team,' says Hoddle. 'A lot of people were saying: 'Well, we've got wait and see.' But I look at young players coming in. I could see his ability.

"As a striker he's got a little bit of everything. He can hit it, he's got enough pace, he plays off his left, his right. He scores all types of goals. He has this little instinct to know where the ball will drop, which means he picks up positions. And that's a bit of everything really. That's why I went early on Harry and said he should be playing for England as well," Hoddle told the Daily Mail.
