Monk: "Tottenham striker should be in England squad, and we need to be ready for him"

Swansea boss spoke highly of Tottenham striker Harry Kane in the buildup to tonight's match



Speaking to the press ahead of Swansea's match at White Hart Lane tonight Garry Monk revealed his admiration for Harry Kane, stating that the Swans need to watch the 24-goal striker carefully lest they get caught out:

"He is a fantastic player - what a season he's had. I think he has taken confidence and belief from playing games and he is now enjoying being the main man at Spurs. He is the player all the fans look to and he seems to have taken that in his stride. 
"He can run behind or hold up the play, he can win aerial duels and he has the individual quality to beat players. He is an all-rounder, and that's the key to him I think. He is an entertainer and a handful, and he's someone we need to be ready for tonight."

Monk also revealed that, in his opinion, Kane should definitely be in the reckoning for the England setup:

"In my opinion he should definitely be in the England squad because of what he has contributed. 
"There's a lot of talent around, but I think he deserves that because of the way he has performed and the way he has carried himself."
