Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Brad Friedel has told Sports Mole that Harry Kane is already one of the best strikers that he has ever played alongside.

Throughout his long career, 43-year-old Friedel has been able to call centre-forwards of the ilk of Dean Saunders, Hakan Sukur, Michael Owen, Robbie Fowler and Andy Cole teammates.

However, despite being just 21, Friedel has insisted that Kane, who scored a hat-trick during Tottenham's 5-1 Europa League win over Asteras Tripolis last night, is "one of the best that [he's] ever played with".

"Harry Kane is the best finisher at the club - I've got no problem saying that. He's up there just with his finishing as one of the best that I've ever played with. He's got every type of finish - the power, the side-foot, he can chip and he can score from distance," said the American keeper.

"He's really got the eye for a goal. There is a very bright future ahead of him. On top of all that, he has a very good work ethic.

"[Getting carried away] is what this country likes to do about young players. There is no reason to get carried away with [Kane]. We just need to let him continue because he's developing at a very good rate. I'm sure the Tottenham supporters are going to see a lot of goals coming from him in the future."

England Under-21 international Kane has found the net on six occasions in all competitions this term.
