'Harry Kane can walk into any team in the world' - former Spurs star Dimitar Berbatov

Dimitar Berbatov has admitted that Harry Kane could walk into any team in the world, but says he hopes the striker stays at Spurs to win trophies.

Kane has started the season well, with seven goals in nine appearances in the Premier League and Champions League so far.

However, the results have not been so impressive for Mauricio Pochettino's side, and questions have begun to form around a number of key team members' futures.

Pochettino's role as manager has come under fire, with Christian Eriksen, Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen all out of contract at the end of the season.

Former Spurs star Dimitar Berbatov says that while there will "always be rumours" about Kane due to his quality as a player, he is hopeful the 26-year-old stays for some time and can pick up trophies in north London.

"I was watching Harry Kane against Bayern Munich and even though it was a bad result, throughout the game his movement, his control of the ball, passing, play with his teammates and finishing was excellent," Berbatov told Betfair .

"For me his is the complete striker, I know that he can walk into any team and play. He is big enough and knows what he needs to do to win trophies in his career and he's probably asking questions himself, it's up to him.

"I would love to see him win something with Spurs because he is Spurs. For me it was a great thing to win a trophy with Spurs, it gave me that taste of a winning mentality and after that I wanted more and more every year, in the end I decided to go to one of the biggest clubs, Manchester United, for that.

"I had a bit of that winning mentality when I moved, but I saw that my winning mentality was nothing when I got there compared to the likes of Ryan Giggs who had all the medals to his name, then I knew I was in the right place to get that winning mentality.

"In the case of Harry Kane and every other Spurs player, I think that every fan wants to see them win something in the end because they have good players and the manager is so good, but if that isn't happening you start asking questions and you will probably disappoint many people if you decide to leave but you have to follow your own path because time flies.

"There will always be lots of rumours about him because he is a top player and I would like to see Harry Kane continue here in England, the same goes for Pochettino but I know when Real Madrid come calling, you are going to ask yourself a million questions."
