Former Tottenham midfielder Sandro reveals Harry Kane was 'teased' | OneFootball

Former Tottenham midfielder Sandro has revealed that Harry Kane’s team-mates used to tease him, but says the striker now deserves his place at the top.

Sandro spent four years at Spurs before joining Queens Park Rangers in September 2014, at the start of Kane’s breakthrough season under Mauricio Pochettino.

He recalled the striker’s hunger to improve as a young player and says they would often directly compete in training.

“Kane, I define in one word: ‘worker,'” the 28-year-old told ESPN Brasil.

“All he does is a matter of training and confidence. Since when he was young me and Heurelho Gomes spoke of him: ‘Damn, the kid is impossible, is training very well.

“He used to call me to mark him in training because he knew I gave everything in all the works. ‘Come, Sandro, mark me I will come up against you!’

“I’m very happy for everything that happened to him, because he’s a very humble and hard-working guy.

“He deserves to be at that level, because the status he reached was not something overnight.

“He came with a desire to evolve each season, year after year and now he’s on top of the world.”
