Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane predicts a bright future for the club under Mauricio Pochettino, whom he rates as one of the best managers in world football.

Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane has hailed Mauricio Pochettino as one of the best managers in world football and believes that the club will enjoy a bright future under the Argentine.

Spurs have been the closest title challengers in each of the past two seasons and are still in the race this term with just four points separating them from leaders Chelsea.

Tottenham's growing on-field ambitions are being matched off the pitch with the construction of a new stadium, and Kane is excited by the direction in which the club are heading.

"Every time we drive in as a squad now you can see how big that stand is getting," he told reporters.

"Everything is getting built up and it shows the way the club is going. We've got a fantastic manager, he's one of the best in the world in my opinion, we've got a great squad with a real togetherness.

"We're just going in the right direction. We can't get carried away, even this season we've got four games left to try to win and it's exciting times."

Tottenham could temporarily close the gap on Chelsea down to just one point with victory over London rivals West Ham United on Friday night.
