Harry Kane’s obsession with proving himself was clear from the start, according to a former teammate.

The Bayern Munich striker is now one of the best players in the world after years of scoring goal after goal, but it took him a while to reach that level.

Breaking through at Tottenham at the age of 21, there weren’t any signs that Kane was about to become England’s greatest goalscorer while shuffling around on loan.

That’s at least as far as the public could tell, but for ex-Spurs goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes, one moment sticks out in Kane’s development.

The England captain had four different loans before his 2014/15 breakout season with Spurs, with one in particular key in his development.

“I have a picture in my mind, at the old training ground, he came in from one of his loans with his leg broken,” Gomes recalled on talkSPORT, as he was shocked to learn Kane was more upset about missing out on playing time than the injury itself.
