Kane scored 13 goals for club and country in September following a typically barren August.

"He is the in-form player in world football, in terms of goals scored and how he is playing," Gerrard told Sky Sports News.

"I love the player and I love the character. I watch his interviews a lot and I have also met him on a couple of occasions.

"I think he is a perfect role model and an ambassador for the game. I love the way he goes about his work.
