But it hasn’t always been easy for Kane. When he was just eight years old he was released by Arsenal, but Kane has never been one to give up. Discover how Kane signed for local rivals Spurs and then became their star striker and a living legend.

Football Superstars is a series aimed at building a love of reading from a young age, with fun cartoons, inspirational stories, a simple narrative style and a cast of characters chipping in with quotes, jokes and comments.
