Tottenham Hotspur star Harry Kane has explained why he didn’t make it at Arsenal.
The England international has been firing in the goals for Spurs, including six in the Premier League this season, having spent a season with the Gunners in his youth.
The 22-year-old was released by Arsenal before joining Tottenham as an 11-year-old and he’s now revealed why he didn’t make the grade.
‘It’s hard to tell at that age what the player is going to turn into,’ Kane told the Telegraph.
‘I was only small at that age. I was small for my age. I was a late developer.’
Despite being small at the time, Kane has become one of the Premier League’s most feared attackers.
And Kane blossomed later than other stars in his age group.
‘As I got older and older I grew up a bit, caught up to the rest of the players my age and it went from there, really,’ he added.
