'Kane can be Tottenham's Totti'

Mauricio Pochettino hopes Harry Kane's ties to Tottenham will keep him at the club for a long time, comparing the England striker to Roma great Francesco Totti.

Kane is aiming to shake off a bout of illness and feature for Spurs at Swansea City on Tuesday following a stellar 2017, when he broke Alan Shearer's record for the most Premier League goals in a calendar year and outscored Barcelona and Argentina superstar Lionel Messi for club and country over the 12-month period.

A Champions League last-16 tie against Juventus is on the agenda next month, with the prospect of the 24-year-old's stock rising even further in the eyes of Europe's heavyweight clubs.
