Joe Hart believes the key to Harry Kane's success for club and country lies in the simplicity of his approach.
The Tottenham striker claimed 13 goals for club and country last month and goes into Thursday's World Cup Qualifier against Slovenia as the man most likely to deliver victory and a place in Russia next summer.
Hart has shared a pitch with some of the biggest names in English football's recent history - from Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard to John Terry and Wayne Rooney - and is in no doubt who is today's brightest star.
"Right now, Harry is hot," said Hart. "He has (Mauricio) Pochettino, one of the hottest managers in the world, who regards him highly and there are reasons for that.
"Harry will keep being Harry and he will keep scoring goals. As long as he is in my team, wearing an England badge, I want that to continue.
"Whether he keeps his form, scores 40 goals or ends up with 20, he is still a top player and we are lucky to have him."
As a goalkeeper and training ground team-mate, Hart has first-hand experience of the qualities that have brought Kane back-to-back Golden Boot awards in the Premier League.
"There is no real secret to him and that is the brilliance of Harry," Hart said.
"It is not dazzling skills, Harry is just brilliant at what he does and he is just one of the best out there. You know you will get a hard shot with Harry. If you give him half an inch he will get a strike on goal and make you work.
"He keeps scoring goals and you cannot ask for any more than that. Long may it continue in an England shirt."
England duty has proved a steady constant for Hart over the last two seasons and although Gareth Southgate reaffirmed his No 1 status last month, Hart is taking nothing for granted.
"For him to say that was a great plus for me, but I understand he was probably fed up with questions about it and maybe felt he had to be definitive with what he was doing. But I will not read too much into it or be resting or relying on that.
"I have got some fantastic competition. And I say fantastic because I really enjoy it and enjoy the standard of goalkeeping at the moment, especially with England and with the Premier League."
