The young midfielder, who was playing for MK Dons in
League One last season, has earned three England caps this season after
his fine form but has been urged to stay grounded
Alli - who linked up with the club in the summer after agreeing a move from MK Dons in January - has scored three goals this season, the most recent of which came in a 1-1 draw with West Brom in the Premier League on Saturday.
The 19-year-old's form has already earned him four England caps in 2015, but Kane has warned the youngster not to get carried away.
"Playing for England and scoring at Wembley is kind of similar to what I did last year," said Kane. "He is going through a whirlwind, everything is happening so quickly.
"He probably hasn't had a chance to sit back and realise what he has done. But he has to stay focused. We have good coaches here and good management staff.
"I am sure he will keep his feet on the ground because there is a long way to go this season and he wants to keep getting better. I will keep telling him that too, of course. I know he will keep working on the training field to try to get better.
"He is a great player and has worked hard to get where he is. He has come in and done fantastic for us," said Kane. "But there is still a long way to go, he has to keep working hard and can’t get ahead of himself."
Tottenham face Monaco on Thursday in their final Europa League group match although the London club have already qualified for the next round.
