Liverpool academy chief Alex Inglethorpe has shared his memories of working with Harry Kane at Tottenham, revealing a crucial intervention from Brad Friedel.
Kane came through the ranks at Tottenham, making his first team debut in the 2011/12 season before going on to become England and Spurs' all-time top scorer. In his early days at the club, he worked alongside Inglethorpe, who was youth manager between 2006 and 2012 before moving on to Liverpool.
They worked closely together in that time, but Inglethorpe had departed before Kane was able to show the world class ability which he displays today. Speaking earlier this week, he revealed how a comment from Brad Friedel changed the way Kane was viewed among Spurs coaches, with the ex-Liverpool and Spurs goalkeeper comparing Kane to former teammate Robbie Fowler.
