Tottenham forward Harry Kane isn’t massively popular among Newcastle fans.
Ever since that challenge on Florian Lejeune back in 2017, the England skipper has been a contentious figure at St James’ Park.
He’s also had a lot of joy against Newcastle. Kane scored both of Spurs’ goals at St James’ Park last month, whilst he also got a brace last season as well.
Kane is one the best strikers in the world, and is currently the top scorer in the Premier League with 21 goals.
But the 27-year-old has been very complimentary about Newcastle during a Twitch stream on Tuesday night.
Kane was playing Fortnite with popular streamer PieFace, and was asked where he most enjoys visiting as a player.
“Newcastle away is always a great game, great atmosphere,” he said.
“It’s an incredible stadium St James’ Park. I enjoy it, I look forward to that game.
“The fans up there are mad for Newcastle as well, so it’s normally a great atmosphere and a great game to be involved with.”
Considering he’s scored four times in his last two games at St James’ Park, it’s no surprise he enjoys playing there.
But Kane has also experienced some great atmospheres up north.
He was in the Spurs starting XI on May 15th 2016, a game where a relegated Newcastle battered Tottenham while fans begged Rafa Benitez to stay.
Fast forward five years, and some Toon fans are begging Kane to come to St James’ Park permanently. Of course, it’s all tongue in cheek.
Why would we want Kane when we’ve got Callum Wilson, anyway?
Kane to Newcastle United? If only…
