Tim Sherwood credits Christian Eriksen and Gylfi Sigurdsson for Harry Kane's success

Tim Sherwood believes Christian Eriksen and Gylfi Sigurdsson should take credit for Harry Kane's rise at Tottenham this season

The 21-year-old striker has enjoyed a fantastic breakthrough season at Spurs, notching 26 goals in all competitions.

And former White Hart Lane boss Sherwood has revealed his recent success is mainly down to the guidance of team-mate Eriksen and ex-colleague Sigurdsson on the training field.

And Sherwood said: “We never knew whether he was going to reach the level he’s at now but we knew his mentality, desire and passion for the game was second to none.

“He’s got tremendous self-belief. He doesn’t see anyone as competition; he just sees himself and wanting to improve.

“Tremendous credit should go to Christian Eriksen and Gylfi Sigurdsson. 

“As much as Harry was a fantastic trainer, those two guys spent hours on the training field with him; striking balls, working on the right side, the left side, and showing Harry how to train properly.”
