Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino has turned Harry Kane into the world's deadliest striker as Argentine coach reveals: 'I love helping young players'

The first player to message Mauricio Pochettino after Tottenham's disastrous end to the 2015-16 season was Harry Kane.

Within 24 hours of Tottenham's humiliating 5-1 defeat at Newcastle that saw them concede second place in the Premier League table to Arsenal, Kane sent his manager a text to thank him for what he had done for him that season.

Of all Tottenham's players, Kane perhaps owes the South American the most and few, if any, are closer to him.
