Rodrigo Bentancur: It is an ‘honour’ to play alongside Harry Kane at Tottenham

Jonathan Gorrie23 March 2022

Rodrigo Bentancur says it is an “honour” to play alongside Harry Kane at Tottenham.

After a difficult start to the season, the England captain has returned to form under Antonio Conte’s stewardship. Since Bentancur’s debut against Brighton in the FA Cup back in February, Kane has scored nine times across all competitions while registering a further three assists.

Keeping Kane long-term following last summer’s interest from Manchester City could well rely on qualifying for next season’s Champions League.

Without that to offer a player who has long admitted his desire to challenge for the biggest trophies in the game, it does not seem unreasonable to assume Kane would once again consider his future.

Bentancur himself has had a positive impact on the team since joining from Juventus during the dying embers of the January transfer window and waxed lyrical about playing with Kane when speaking to ESPN Argentina.

“Technically and physically, he is an incredible player, very complete; it is an honour and a pleasure to have him as a team-mate,” he said of Kane.

“(I’m) very happy and getting minutes.

“It’s the best league at the moment. I’m very happy to play for Tottenham in that league and to be taking this opportunity.”
