Jermain Defoe’s influence on Harry Kane
Former Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp has revealed the impact that ex-striker Jermain Defoe had on current forward Harry Kane. It comes after Defoe, 39, announced his retirement from the sport on Thursday.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Redknapp lauded Defoe and said: “I thought he was fantastic. Great pro, great attitude, great person, goal scorer, just you know what you were getting with him [Jermain Defoe]. There’s no: ‘We might do it, we might not…’ You could be sure as you could ever be about anybody when you took him. I loved having him around me.
“He’d spend time on the training ground after training practicing and I think he was very instrumental in Harry Kane, used to look at him and watch how he worked after training and he’d spend time helping Harry with his game. He’d be doing drills and Harry would try them and he’d do them. So he was a big influence on him, there’s no doubt about that.”
