Kane is even giving Spurs defence nightmares says Wimmer

Harry Kane is a more complete striker than last season and is even giving Spurs defenders nightmares – albeit in training – according to teammate Kevin Wimmer.

The England striker has already notched three hat-tricks in 2017 including a treble last time out in a convincing 4-0 win over Stoke City.

Kane was the Premier League’s top goalscorer last season and has fired Spurs up to second in the table this campaign.

He is joint top of the goalscoring charts again this season with 17 alongside Alexis Sanchez and Romelu Lukaku.

And Wimmer insists Kane is a nightmare to defend against – even just in training during the week.

“You only have to see what he does every week in the games – I think he’s improved a lot from last season. He was great last season but he’s improved even more,” underlined the Austrian international, who enjoyed a clean sheet on what was his fifth Premier League appearance of the campaign.

“He can keep the ball so strongly, it’s difficult when you’re behind him. He’s such a strong guy, he protects the ball so well, he’s quick, he’s sharp and, in front of goal, whenever he gets a chance, it’s usually a goal.

“It’s the same in training so it’s always a good feeling in training when we play games and you’re on the same team as him – but not against him!

“I said to him after the game (against Stoke) that everybody expects him now to score three goals in every game, otherwise everybody is disappointed!”
