Carrick: Kane is 'real deal'

London - Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick described Harry Kane as "the real deal" on Tuesday after the Tottenham Hotspur striker trained with the England squad for the first time.

Kane, 21, has been called up by England manager Roy Hodgson after scoring 29 goals to date this season and could make his debut in Friday's 2016 European Championship qualifier at home to Lithuania.

"The progress he's made has been sensational, right from the start of the season to the level he's at now. He's gone up two or three levels," Carrick told reporters at England's St George's Park training base.
