'Harry Kane is a much better player than Angel di Maria... He's now worth £100m'

Harry Kane is now worth £100million, according to ex-England striker Rodney Marsh.

The 21-year-old has enjoyed a stunning breakout season with Tottenham, netting 29 goals in all competitions, and continued his meteoric rise on Friday night when he scored less than two minutes into his international debut.

Roy Hodgson has attempted to play down the hype surrounding the striker as he prepares to hand him his first start for the Three Lions against Italy on Tuesday night.

But Marsh insists Kane IS the real deal and is backing him to surpass the achievements of the Premier League's all-time leading goalscorer Alan Shearer.

"I reckon he is worth £100million, I honestly do. If I was a chairman of a football club, that is what I would pay for Harry Kane," Marsh, who won nine caps for the Three Lions, told the Sports Bar.

"I think he is going to go on and be a bigger and better player than Alan Shearer.

"Manchester City paid £32million for a relatively untried young player called Eliaquim Mangala. If Mangala is worth £32million, Harry Kane is worth £100million all day long.

"Angel Di Maria cost Manchester United £60million. I think Harry Kane is a much better player than Di Maria, in the Premier League."
