This season, the Tottenham striker has 25 goals in the Premier League.
Harry Kane, who Roy Hodgson considers to be among the top players in the world of soccer, will present a difficult challenge for Crystal Palace on Saturday when they travel to Tottenham.
With four games left, the Spurs and England striker has scored 25 goals in the Premier League and is on pace to break his previous record of 30 goals set in the 2017–18 campaign.
Hodgson, the former Three Lions manager who gave Kane his senior international debut in 2015, praised Tottenham's star player, whose form has been a bright spot for the north London club despite their troubles throughout a difficult season.
Kane is among the top players in the world of football and a superb goal scorer, according to the Palace manager.
It is much more important for you to work as a team to defend because we won't be able to say, "We're going to negate Harry Kane because 'X' is going to mark him, and that's the end of the story. We are aware that won't be possible.
"We're going to achieve it through wise corporate defense. We'll have to strive to limit any beneficial services to him as much as we can.
We'll need to pay particular attention when he is in or near the penalty area because that is when we need to move close to him in order to attempt and close the gap he is using to set himself up for shots. We have observed for goodness knows how long that when he fires shots, they go into the goal.
"I have a great deal of admiration for Harry Kane. He made his England debut while I was the manager, and through the years I've watched him grow stronger, get better, and wreck havoc on practically every defense he encounters.
