What Harry Kane said
The 30-year-old acknowledged Dele Alli's bravery in discussing what many professionals shy away from.
"I think it was extremely brave of Dele to come out and give the interview he gave," Kane said, per Goal.
"We've known each other for a period of time, but I didn't know the extent of what he had been through in his life, for sure. It was eye-opening for me to hear that.
“I texted him afterwards and said how much I think what he did will help a lot of people as well feel comfortable in sharing their feelings and sharing what they've been through.
"I caught up with Dele in the summer, but that was before the interview. He seemed to be on a good track. I know he's been working hard to get fit. I can't wait to hopefully see him back out playing football again.
“I think he is definitely in a better place now. He's still got a lot of time left in his career, and I'm one person who really hopes he can get back on track and see him playing week in, week out."
