Kane, 29, admitted that Chelsea legend John Terry and former Juventus and Italy star Giorgio Chiellini were the two defenders he founded hardest to beat.

Kane said: “There are a few who have been the toughest I have faced in my career.

“Early on facing John Terry, [he was] just a really smart defender, knew where to put his body, knew how to stop my runs, so that was a great learning curve.

“And then Chiellini. I obviously played against him against Italy and against Juventus. Again, really smart, strong, and physical.”
