Tottenham boss Pochettino demanding more from Kane

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino is demanding more from Harry Kane.

England captain Kane will also wear the armband for Tottenham over the next few months while Hugo Lloris recovers from injury.

Pochettino said: “Harry has a good example with Hugo, working with him. I think he learned a lot from Hugo. He is young but he is learning a lot from different people and he is very mature. He is capable.

“But he does not need to feel too much pressure. He needs to act natural. The most important thing is to not show too much the responsibility on your shoulders, to act natural. When you act natural, if you are a natural leader, you don't feel the responsibility.

“When you do what you feel, what you feel here in your heart, it's natural. The problem is if you need to act. If you are not a real leader and you need to act, you spend energy thinking: 'How do I need to face this problem?'

“But if you trust in yourself and you are a natural leader, that, I promise, you don't feel the responsibility."
