Tottenham great Clive Allen has hailed the training ground work of Harry Kane.

Kane won the Golden Boot for the second season running in May after scoring 29 goals in 29 starts, taking his tally to 99 in all competitions for the club.

Allen says Jermain Defoe was a great example for a young Kane when the Sunderland striker was at the club.

"Jermain was then and remains a great example, he wanted to practice, wanted to score goals, he loved that feeling and Harry bought into that at a very young age," Allen told the club's official website.

"That's what drives him – goals, goals, goals. He wants to keep improving and long may that continue. Practice makes perfect and that's what he strives for.

"When Harry came in as a 16-year-old he just wanted to work every day, particularly on his goalscoring and finishing and we worked at it.

"We had numerous competitions in those days and by hook or by crook I'd make sure I won, but when he started to beat me I knew he was on his way!

"His attitude, work-rate…he deserves everything he's got and that's one of the biggest compliments I can pay. He was focused and knew what he wanted and went about getting there with hard work."
