Chelsea ace Kai Havertz has labelled Harry Kane as a 'top striker' amid speculation on the England captain's future at Tottenham.

Kane has been linked with Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City as he looks to leave Tottenham this summer.

And Havertz has talked up Kane ahead of Germany's Euro2020 last-16 clash with England on Tuesday.

Havertz said: "He is a top striker who is not a classic and not a false number nine. He's something in between.

"He picks up the balls from behind, plays deadly passes to the front and is brutally good in the box.

"He has a great shot on goal and a good eye for the spaces. He's difficult to grab for a central defender because he runs deep, comes short and can shoot.

"It is not for nothing that he has scored and prepared the most goals in the Premier League this season."
