Villarreal forward Roberto Soldado claims that his former teammate Harry Kane deserves all the accolades that have been coming his way.

The Spanish striker labels the Tottenham star as a humble player with an attitude that will see him continue to grow in stature in the game.

"He deserves it because he's a humble kid who works very hard and just has a fantastic attitude," Soldado told the Daily Mail of Kane.

"It's his finishing that stands out - it's exceptional.

"Last season it seemed that every chance he got would end up in the back of the net and this season he looks even more effective."
