Tottenham Hotspur defender Ben Davies has told Football.London that he has never seen Harry Kane in such good shape as he is right now.

Kane grabbed a 96th minute equaliser against Chelsea on Sunday as Spurs earned a point at Stamford Bridge.

The 29-year-old missed a big chance earlier in the second-half but certainly didn’t waste his second opportunity from an Ivan Perisic corner.

The England captain was pictured looking in great shape during pre-season and it seems that Antonio Conte’s gruelling sessions are paying off.

Davies never seen Kane in such good shape

Speaking to Football.London, Davies labelled Kane a top player and said he’s looking the best he ever has since the Welshman joined Spurs back in 2014.

He said: “I think he’s looking as good as he ever has. He’s a top player.

“He’s shown time and time again the class that he’s got and he’s off the mark again. Let’s hope he can have a successful season.”

The Wales international also heaped praise onto Kane for the work he puts in on the training ground.

“I think Harry is not just a top, top player, he’s a top professional as well,” he added.

“He’s one of the first in, he’s always willing to do the hard yards and it’s no surprise he’s got to the top.”

Davies has played alongside Kane for over eight years now and it’s a big compliment to say he looks as good as he ever has.

Kane has enjoyed some hugely successful seasons in North London and has won three Golden Boot Awards in the Premier League.

The Spurs striker opened his account for the season on Sunday and will be hoping to push for another top scorer award under Conte.

The Italian is known for getting the best out of his strikers and is clearly pushing Kane to another level in terms of his fitness.
