Leonardo Bonucci has conceded that Italy should be cautious against the England skipper when the two sides get down to business in the Euro 2020 final on Sunday.
“Kane? We’re not discovering him now, it’s been years that he’s been doing good things with Tottenham, England. In the last three matches, we’ve been lucky to come up against the three best strikers in the world," he said.
"It’s just an added motivation not to concede anything. They have very strong forward, we will need to be very careful of them, the defence and the whole team,” he added.
