Tottenham defender Japhet Tanganga admits he draws inspiration from Harry Kane.

Tanganga looks up to the striker, another man born in the shadow of White Hart Lane. It's a career he's admired, one he wants to emulate.

He told the Daily Mail: "Harry Kane is a world-class striker and to know that he came from the place that I've come from, and gone on to be where he is, is inspirational.

"Especially in working under some of the coaches that I worked under whilst I was in the academy, it gives me that extra boost, extra push, to know that it can be done. It's great for motivation and it's a push for me seeing someone do the same thing.

"You look at his stats, the goals, the way he plays, he's a phenomenal player. In training he's been sharp, fit again, and ready to be called upon if needed. When he's scoring the goals, he makes the team's job a bit easier."
