Harry Kane, before becoming a Tottenham icon, was at north London rival Arsenal. Everyone knows how his time with them went: he was released by the club at the age of eight before joining Spurs to become one of their own.
That rejection fuels the Englishman and he continues to punish Wenger’s side over their awful decision. He has scored seven goals in seven meetings with the Gunners, the latest strike coming in the 1-0 victory at Wembley Stadium on Saturday.
Former Arsenal player and academy director Liam Brady has now given insight behind Arsenal’s decision to cut the Three Lions ace loose at a young age. It had to do with his weight struggle.
"Unfortunately it was like that, he was fat, not very athletic and we were wrong," the Irishman said, as per Marca.
Kane had struggled to keep his weight down, but that is a thing of the past. Now, he is the hottest striker in the world.
He is the leading scorer in the Premier League this season and will be the man to guide Tottenham’s Champions League campaign. Pochettino’s side will look to overcome their recent shortcomings in this tournament by going far this term.
However, they face a tricky opponent. Last season’s runner-up Juventus is their round of 16 opponent, with Spurs making the trip to Turin for the first leg this Tuesday.
