Spurs' Harry Kane Talks Arsenal Fans, Tattoos and Mayoralty with FourFourTwo

London's political elite can breathe a sigh of relief: Harry Kane doesn't have too many hopes of one day becoming mayor.

The Tottenham Hotspur striker spoke to FourFourTwo about his rise to fame since playing a starring role in Spurs' Premier League campaign last year.

He is, all of a sudden, one of Tottenham's favourite sons after a breakthrough year, which saw him score 30 times in 51 games in all competitions.

Kane said that he's never quite understood the desire for him to sign fans' body parts but would be "privileged" if a Spurs supporter turned one of his signatures into a tattoo.

"The strangest request I’ve had from a fan has been to sign body parts," he said. "I don’t really understand it – surely it’ll just wash away? Hopefully they aren’t getting them tattooed on!

"It would be a bit strange, but if somebody wants to do it, they should go for it."

He jokes that any political career might be weakened by a lack of support from Chelsea, West Ham and Arsenal fans and speaks of his delight at seeing one Gunners fan's now-famous reaction to his match-winner in February's north London derby.

"Someone did show me the clip of him saying that he’d never heard of me, actually – 'Whose name is Harry Kane?’ – and then his reaction after I scored the winner," he said. "That was a pretty sweet feeling!"

Spurs, who are undefeated in the Premier League this term since the opening day of the season, face West Brom this weekend.
