Newcastle United boss John Carver compares Harry Kane to Alan Shearer

Newcastle United boss John Carver compares Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane to Newcastle and England legend Alan Shearer.

John Carver has claimed that Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane is similar to Newcastle United and England legend Alan Shearer.

Kane has netted 22 times for Spurs so far this season, which has led to calls for him to be included in Roy Hodgson's next England squad.

Newcastle manager Carver has admitted that he has been impressed with the impact that the 21-year-old has made.

"I think it's great, first of all, to see a young lad come through the system," Carver told the Shields Gazette.

"He's an honest and hard-working, but talented, boy. I think he's got a level head. He speaks well in front of the camera, and I think he's got a good personality.

"His first priority is how hard he works in a game. The ability comes secondary. If he continues to develop, he's got a bright future. He's probably the nearest thing that we've seen to an Alan Shearer in a long time."

Kane scored two goals as Spurs beat Arsenal 2-1 in the North London derby on Saturday.
