Manuel Neuer has praised Spurs striker Harry Kane as Germany prepare ahead of their Euro 2020 meeting with England on Tuesday evening.
The two teams go head-to-head at Wembley Stadium with a place in the quarter-finals of the competition up for grabs.
Spurs forward Kane has not had the best tournament so far having failed to get on the scoresheet in any of the three group games against Croatia, Scotland and the Czech Republic - Gareth Southgate even choosing to substitute him in two of those matches.
It is a complete contrast to his form in the previous major tournament where he claimed the 2018 World Cup golden boot with six strikes.
Despite his tricky period, Bayern Munich stopper Neuer is still extremely wary of his threat.
Talking ahead of the clash, he said: “Harry Kane? He sacrifices himself and that is a dangerous sign.
“He will be completely motivated, 100 per cent, for this game. We have met him. We know him. We know how good he is. He is great in the air, strong. We know all about his qualities.”
Meanwhile, Neuer’s thoughts have also been echoed by Die Mannschaft’s head coach Joachim Low but also said that Germany’s attention cannot just be reserved for the Tottenham man.
“Kane can score goals out of whatever situation,” the 61-year-old said. “He has both feet. He is good in the air, he protects the ball very well.
“We have to be focused on him but England also have Phil Foden, Raheem Sterling, Mason Mount. They have strong offensive players — Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford too.”
It goes without saying that Kane will certainly have eyes on breaking his duck against Germany.
Should England win the game, they will tee up a quarter-final clash with Sweden or Ukraine in Rome before a semi-final showdown with either Denmark or the Czech Republic at Wembley.
