Georges-Kevin Nkoudou says advice from England captain Harry Kane has helped him unlock the best goalscoring form of his career.<\/b><\/p>\n
The Cameroon winger has struck 23 times since joining Saudi Pro League side Damac in August 2023, including 15 goals last season.<\/p>\n
Nkoudou was at Tottenham Hotspur alongside Kane between 2016 and 2019, and often thinks about what the Bayern Munich striker told him during their time together in north London.<\/p>\n
“I learn a lot from watching Harry because, as a goalscorer, I have never seen anyone like him,” the 29-year-old told BBC Sport Africa.<\/p>\n
“I know I can get myself in good positions. [But] some goals I have scored with Damac are because I think about Kane.<\/p>\n
“He is such a clever guy in front of goal.”<\/p>\n
Nkoudou has certainly improved his strike rate since his move to the Middle East, given his previous best goal return in a single season had been eight efforts for Turkish club Besiktas.<\/p>\n
“He (Kane) always told me ‘You need to be calm’,” Nkoudou added.<\/p>\n
“I’m a winger, so I wasn’t used to being in front of goal. Now I’m more calm, more confident, because I remember this advice.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
