West Ham defender Kehrer: I'm well prepared for Spurs attack

West Ham defender Thilo Kehrer has been preparing to face Tottenham's star attack today.

On Sunday, everything Kehrer learned facing Kylian Mbappé, Lionel Messi, Neymar and company at PSG's Camp des Loges training ground will be put to good use trying to stop Tottenham's own formidable front three of South Korea star Son Heung-min, Sweden international Dejan Kulusevski and, of course, England captain Harry Kane.

“I think Kane is right there with the top strikers in the world and he's proven it for a lot of years now, and only looking at the numbers and the stats you can't deny that he's one of the top strikers," he told whufc.com.

“He's a very intelligent striker with a lot of qualities; he has great finishing and a great sense of spaces and of his movement that leads him away from players. He's looking at finding places where the ball is going to be or the space is going to come.

“He's a kind of striker that's a bit like [Real Madrid and France striker Karim] Benzema because you need to be so awake and so focused because he's always going to be trying to find the space in the right moment to get in front of you to get the finish, so it's very difficult to defend."
