Tottenham striker Harry Kane hopes his success this season will convince managers to back more local talent.

Kane claims his rise shows that young English talent can prevail even in the mega-rich Premier League with all its foreign imports.

"Sometimes young English players who come through the ranks don't always get the chance at the top level," he said.

"I have been fortunate enough to get a chance and I've been able to take it. So it proves you don't always have to buy players."
