Harry Kane: Tottenham striker can be 'number one in world', says Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg

Tottenham's Harry Kane is a "machine" who can be "number one in the world", says team-mate Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.

It was the England captain's first match since he scored one penalty and missed another in the 2-1 quarter-final loss to France.

"To underestimate his strength is a big mistake," said Hojbjerg, who got the equaliser.

"He is a machine. He has the quality to be number one in the world.

"The biggest mistake you can do in football is to doubt Harry Kane."

Kane is England's joint record goalscorer with 53 goals in 80 international appearances but in Qatar earlier this month missed a penalty that would have given him the outright lead and potentially taken the match with France into extra time.
