Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino has described Harry Kane as an assassin.

Pochettino reckons his star striker, the frontman he describes as an 'assassin', would be far more celebrated if he were Italian or Spanish.

Asked whether Kane is now exceeding even his expectations, Pochettino said: “No because I know him very well.

"He is a killer, an assassin, a killer.

“He always in practice in everything he wants to kill the keeper, everything. He wants to score, he is so determined to score goals."
