Brighton midfielder Stephens: I saw Kane class at Leyton Orient

Brighton midfielder Dale Stephens isn't surprised by the success of Harry Kane with Tottenham and England.

Stephens saw Kane first hand as a 17-year-old when he was on loan at Leyton Orient.

The Albion midfielder, who was playing for Oldham in League One at that time, has backed Kane to be a record breaker.

Stephens said: “He is very good, not only the level he is hitting now but he is still quite young.

“I think he will go on to break records for both Tottenham and England.

“I remember playing against him years ago when he played for Leyton Orient and you could see the talent he had then. He must have been 17 or 18 at that age.

“It is no surprise to see what he is doing now."
