Harry Kane has said being rejected by Arsenal as a youngster was ‘the best thing that ever happened’ to him, and also revealed he would ‘trade the next 100 goals’ to win the Premier League title with Tottenham.
Kane, who reached 100 Premier League goals for Spurs with his dramatic injury-time penalty against Liverpool on Sunday night, was released by Arsenal's academy when he was aged only eight.
The England international admitted he had a ‘chip on his shoulder’ after he left the club, but he bounced back from the early rejection to become the talisman for Arsenal's fierce rivals Tottenham.
