/r/soccer's Top 100 youth prospects from 4 years ago

I just checked Transfermarkt to be sure. After his foot injury he only ever played 19mins for Norwich as I thought.

At Leicester he was only given the chance as a left winger. He wasn't good there don't get me wrong but it was a really poor loan overall. Nigel Pearson didn't give him a proper chance.

There's an odd story with Kane where the story made out is that he looked awful and it's a miracle what he's done but it's not really true.

It's true that some ex-Tottenham managers like Harry Redknapp and AVB didn't rate him and never saw his rise coming but on the other hand there were people like Jermain Defoe who claims he always knew he would be an amazing striker.

There were also some of the most prominant Spurs youth watchers that predicted his big first season for Pochettino before it happened.

He wasn't the bottom tier academy talent he's made out to be. He was England's youth striker through all his age levels.
