West Ham defender Kurt Zouma has compared Harry Kane to the Hammers' Michail Antonio ahead of the London derby at the weekend in the Premier League against Spurs.
The 26-year-old has faced some world class strikers during his illustrious career in France and in England, most notably while with Chelsea and more recently West Ham.
Spurs are set to face West Ham on Sunday and Zouma believes facing off against Antonio in training has prepared him fully for the magnitude of the task he and the rest of the defence have when it comes to keeping the Lillywhites' talisman quiet.
“Trust me, he is very difficult to handle,” the 26-year-old said on the Jamaican international via the Evening Standard.
"He is a top striker.
"He’s got everything — fast, accurate, dangerous, good on the ball, good finisher. He can hold the ball very well, his movements are good.
“I mean a top striker at the minute — and you can see he is flying.
"He (Kane) is a very dangerous player. He can score from every position. If you leave him room he can shoot from everywhere and score. He is accurate, very dangerous, one of the best strikers in the Premier League. He’s scored a lot of goals.
"You never know what can happen with him. You always have to be focused and concentrated and tight on him.
“But a game is not about one player, it is about the team, the way they play, the shape. You have to be even more focused on them, but you cannot change your style, the way you prepare for the games.
“I always keep the same and I know that the player is great, but also the team around him.”
