Tottenham midfielder Maddison: I'm no Kane replacement

Tottenham midfielder James Maddison admits he's not a replacement for Harry Kane.

Maddison scored in today's win at Bournemouth.

Asked about replacing Kane, now of Bayern Munich, Maddison laughed: "It's tough if you're asking me to try and get 30 goals! It's a collective. You can't even look to replace what Harry Kane gives you.

"You've got to all chip in and look to try and score the same amount of goals from different areas. Harry is probably the best number nine in the world, you will never find a direct replacement in terms of goals and what he can give you. We should all be chipping in.

"We've got the bit between our teeth. We have some momentum so long may that continue and hopefully we can still implement the final steps the gaffer wants to see, which is attacking football."
