The huge compliment Tammy Abraham paid Tottenham's Harry Kane in chat with Chelsea teammate

Tammy Abraham has said he can't wait to train alongside Harry Kane, calling him 'the greatest striker in the world'.

The Chelsea forward is part of Gareth Southgate's England squad for the upcoming Euro 2020 qualifiers against Czech Republic and Bulgaria.

However, if Abraham is to break into the starting XI he'll need to oust Tottenham striker Harry Kane from his role as the nation's most reliable striker.

The 22-year-old old will fancy his chances after making a stunning start to the season at Stamford Bridge, but admitted that he is hoping to learn a lot from the potent frontman.

Speaking to the Evening Standard , Abraham said: "For me, he’s the greatest striker in the world.

"I would put him up there. I was talking to [Chelsea and England midfielder] Ross Barkley the other day and said I’ve never seen a finisher like him.

"Ross was saying him, Jermain Defoe, and all sorts.

"But when you look at Harry Kane, if he gets a chance in the box, nine times out of 10, it’s a goal. So I’ll go there learn off him and hopefully be like him.”
