Thibaut Courtois admits to studying Harry Kane's finishing ahead of final

Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has admitted that he has been studying Harry Kane's finishing ahead of Sunday's Capital One Cup final against Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley.

The two London sides will go head to head for the first piece of silverware this season, and Courtois is expected to come up against an in-form Kane.

The Spurs forward has netted 24 goals in all competitions so far this season, and Courtois is specifically focusing on Kane's technique during one-on-ones with goalkeepers.

"Yeah, of course," the London Evening Standard quotes Courtois as saying. "That's what we do with all the videos and images you can watch nowadays.

"You try and analyse what they're like more and more, but football is football and every game is different. Every time they come in front of you it can be different. I know [how Kane finishes] but I don't have to say it now."

Courtois was installed as Chelsea's first-choice keeper at the start of the season following three impressive loan campaigns with Atletico Madrid in La Liga.
