Ex-West Ham United player Leroy Rosenior has said that Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane makes the team more determined when he plays.

Kane has become a regular under Mauricio Pochettino in recent weeks ahead of the more established Roberto Soldado and Emmanuel Adebayor, and Rosenior, who is now a pundit, thinks that he is having a positive effect on the whole squad.

He told BBC Sport: "You never question Spurs' technical ability, but you sometimes questioned their determination and attitude.

"Kane has gone into that side and he epitomises determination and attitude. He has got technical ability as well, but I think he has changed the whole tone of the Spurs side as well.

"They seem to be more determined and up for the game when he plays. He has so much energy, and he uses it so positively with and without the ball."

Kane has scored 12 goals in 21 appearances in all competitions this season.
