Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur has lauded teammate Harry Kane in an interview with ESPN Argentina (via Sport Witness). 

The lowdown: Bentancur's early impact

Since joining Spurs from Juventus in a deal that could cost up to £21.5million (Sky Sports), the Uruguayan has already become a regular feature in Antonio Conte's plans.

The 47-cap ace has already completed 90 minutes on five occasions in the Premier League for the Lilywhites, registering a first assist in the victory over Brighton & Hove Albion recently.

He is seemingly getting better each week, producing a brilliant display in the 3-1 win against West Ham with two tackles and a remarkable 95 per cent pass completion rate, including an 100 per cent success rate on long balls (Whoscored).

The Latest: Impressed by Kane

Speaking to ESPN, as translated by SW, Bentancur hailed his talismanic centre-forward when asked who at Hotspur Way has 'surprised' him the most.

The 24-year-old labelled Kane as an 'incredible' player both physically and technically before stating it is a 'pleasure' to play in the same team as the England captain.

Bentancur added that the 28-year-old frontman is 'very complete' in terms of playing style.

The lowdown: Big things ahead?

Having made a bright start to life at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the early signs would suggest that with a full pre-season the Uruguayan could thrive for Spurs.

Already with one assist for Kane under his belt, with an average of 55 accurate passes per game so far for Conte's side in the league (Sofascore), Bentancur will be hoping to link up with the star man on a consistent basis moving forwards, perhaps propelling the Lilywhites to some silverware in the process.
