QPR striker Charlie Austin is full of praise for Tottenham rival Harry Kane.

Austin and Kane are both jostling for a spot in Roy Hodgson's England squad, which is announced later this month, but the QPR striker had only praise for his compatriot.

"Harry Kane has been in exceptional form this season," Austin told paddypower.com.

"He was the difference between us and Tottenham on Saturday - and he is a great example of this self-belief.

"That brace makes it eight goals in six league games and when you're on that run you just want the games to keep coming.

"He's confident going into games, and he's confident when he's front of goal that he's going to score.

"That's the kind of confidence that a striker really wants and it will inevitably benefit the team."
