Ex-Tottenham striker Kanoute full of praise for English football

Former Tottenham and West Ham striker Fredi Kanoute admits he could have stayed in England.

"I enjoyed playing football a lot in England, but I was a bit tired," Sevilla striker Kanoute told Don Ballon.

"I could have moved clubs there because I had an opportunity, but I preferred a radical change in order to experience something different like Spanish football. For that reason I signed with Sevilla.

"English football is incredible because they play at high tempo, whereas Spanish football is more about individual technique.

"I tend to think that Spanish players are better with the ball on their feet. That the only thing missing to the English and I think that their national team will be successful pretty soon."
