Mauricio Pochettino ranks ‘legend’ Harry Kane among world’s elite

Tottenham 4 Stoke 0: Harry Kane’s emergence in the Tottenham Hotspur side inspired chants of ‘He’s one of our own’, with the player accorded cult hero status almost immediately.

Three years later, Mauricio Pochettino admits that ranking could soon be upgraded to club legend.

A week after his hat-trick against Fulham set up Tottenham’s FA Cup quarter-final meeting with Millwall, Kane collected another match ball, this time after his first-half treble had killed off Stoke City and taken the 23-year-old past the landmark of 100 career club goals.
