Christian Eriksen has heaped praise on Tottenham Hotspur teammate Harry Kane after the striker netted his 30th goal of the season over the weekend.

Kane became the first Spurs player to reach the milestone in over 20 years on Sunday by scoring during the team's 3-1 win at Newcastle United in the Premier League.

Eriksen has now hailed the 21-year-old for staying sharp in front of goal throughout the campaign.

"It's crazy, the number of goals he's scored and how well he's playing," the Dane told the club's official website. "It's been a couple of games since he scored the last one but he always looks like scoring and it helps the team so we're happy to see him finding the back of the net."

Tottenham return to league action on Saturday when they face Southampton at St Mary's Stadium.
