Gianluigi Buffon: 'Harry Kane is frightening'

Gianluigi Buffon has described Harry Kane as "frightening" ahead of Italy's clash with England in Turin.

The 21-year-old has impressed at Tottenham Hotspur this season and he came off the bench to net for the Three Lions in their 4-0 win over Lithuania last week.

"He is the player of the moment in England," Buffon told reporters. "We've seen some footage and doubtlessly he's going to be the most frightening player alongside [Wayne] Rooney.

"England have many, many arrows in their quiver when it comes to the attack."

England manager Roy Hodgson has confirmed that Kane will start Tuesday night's friendly at the Juventus Stadium.
