'World-class': Joe Hart says he played with someone at Tottenham who was just unbelievable
Today at 12:15 PM
Joe Hart's time at Tottenham was a very strange period for both the player and the club.
Hart had been the England number one just a few years prior, but he decided to join Tottenham as the number two behind Hugo Lloris.
Hart had a tough time at Tottenham. He barely played for Spurs, and Micah Richards even felt sorry for Hart during his time in north London.
Hart's departure from Spurs wasn't much better either. Hart felt harshly treated by Nuno Espirito Santo when he left Spurs for Celtic, and he departed under something of a dark cloud.
However, it wasn't all bad for Hart at Tottenham, the goalkeeper got to play with some incredible players during his time at Spurs.
Joe Hart loved his time with Gareth Bale at Tottenham, and now, speaking to BeIN Sports, He's hailed Harry Kane.

Hart spoke about what it was like to play alongside Kane for England and Tottenham.
The goalkeeper says that he initially didn't get the hype around Kane, but, eventually, he realised he was a world-class player during his time at Tottenham.
"Who was the best striker in an England shirt?" Hart was asked.
"Harry Kane. He really was a high level operator. I met him at the start of his England career and it was like 'how is Harry Kane getting in the England squad?' Because of what I'd seen,' Hart said.
"Then I met Kane and thought 'he's good.' Two years later he was one of the best and two years later he was still getting better. I worked with him at Tottenham in 2020 and I thought he was a world-class operator, at a high level."
Harry Kane record vs Joe Hart
Hart says that Kane was a world-class player at Spurs, and he's not wrong.
Kane is Tottenham's all-time record goalscorer, and inevitably, a few of those goals came against Hart.
Interestingly, despite their careers overlapping a fair bit, Kane only ever played against Hart five times in his career.
However, in those five games, Kane did manage to score three goals against the former England goalie.

Hart says he truly realised Kane was world-class when he played alongside him at Tottenham, and that does make sense.
Indeed, as good as Kane was for Tottenham in the big games, he was also incredible in training.
Ben Davies said Kane was Spurs' best trainer during his time at the club, while Danny Rose also said Kane was brilliant in training.
Kane was an incredible player for Spurs, and, as Hart says, he was world-class.
