You're right, he will get better, because that's what he wants to do, and he'll put in the work to do it. He's an interesting blend of natural ability and desire to improve. Has a goalscorer's instinct, has a footballing brain, plied his trade in the 10 role, which meant he learned much more about approach play than any limited, pure striker ever would.He's a Godsend. The scary thing is that he will only get better as he gets older. Doesn't rely on pace, so as he becomes more experienced he'll improve his positioning and general reading of the game.
Look at players like Forlan. He was a good forward for most of his career, but peaked when he was about 34-35 when he became a class act. Kane's already better than Forlan ever was, and he's only just getting started.
When you get that almost primal desire to score, and the ability to deliver on that, ...kind of Greaves territory. We've got a gem!
