Following his winning goal in the North London derby, Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino has dubbed his star man as 'one of the best strikers in the world.'

The Englishman has now scored seven goals in seven Premier League meetings with rivals' Arsenal. A statistic that both managers have to admire with even Arsene Wenger concurring that Kane is, in the words of the Frenchman, "a super striker." 

Speaking after his sides' victory in the north London derby on Saturday, Pochettino said of Kane: "In the last three years I am repeating that he is one of the best strikers in the world." 

"Sometimes you believe that it's because he's my player and I try to praise him. But I'm telling you and I tell you again, from my experience in football, he's one of the best. And he deserves that. He is the present and the future. It is amazing what he is achieving. We are so proud that he is in our side," the Argentine added. 

After the derby, Kane, who scored the winning goal for 'Spurs', took to Twitter to toy with television personality and Arsenal fan Piers Morgan:
