Ryan Mason explains why Harry Kane is 'best type' of Tottenham leader and discusses Son's future

Ryan Mason has stated that Harry Kane's leadership qualities coupled with how he influences games make him the "best type of leader that you can get". Wearing the captain's armband in Hugo Lloris' absence for Tottenham's Premier League showdown against Manchester United, the 29-year-old played a pivotal role in Spurs coming from 2-0 down to claim a point.

Maybe not having a number of openings on goal, Kane was at his creative best as he teed Son Heung-min up for two very good chances in the second half, one of which the South Korean took to net a vital equaliser. Mason knows full well that Kane is Tottenham's best player and he is a leader in a number of different ways.

“He’s our best player, I don’t think I’m out of order saying that because he is our best player and he is a leader," said Tottenham's acting head coach. "There are many different ways as he’s a technical leader, he’s a leader in terms of his mannerisms, how he carries himself, the example that he sets and sometimes we don’t probably speak about that enough because he’s not the most loud and outspoken person.
