Jermain Defoe recalls first training memory with Tottenham and England captain Harry Kane

Jermain Defoe has admitted that the first word he thought when he saw Harry Kane training as a young Tottenham player was "wow".

Kane, now 29, is set to captain England to another World Cup this month, having won the Golden Boot at the last tournament in Russia in 2018. The nation's hopes will rest on the striker as he also chases down Wayne Rooney's status as England's record goalscorer. His 51 goals so far are just two short of Rooney and in almost half the appearances.

With 12 goals in 15 Premier League matches this season, Kane also continues to edge closer to the all-time Tottenham goalscoring record, moving on to 261 goals and just five away from equalling the late Jimmy Greaves.
