It is understood that Kane works with Elorriaga personally, away from Tottenham’s training ground, flying him to England and working with him at his own expense.
“I’ll use him maybe one week of the month,” said Kane. “He doesn’t live in the UK, so he comes over one week a month and stays with me.
“He’s been really great for me, we’ve worked for hours and hours over the three years, built up a really good relationship and I’ve seen changes in my body in terms of what my ankles were like before and now after. I’m in a totally different place. So it’s really pleasing.”
In an interview with the Times, in which he explained his personal conditioning programme, Rose, who won the US Open in 2013, said: “Then there is Alejandro Elorriaga, a genius of a man. With him I do between 50 and 100 hours of acupuncture each year. It is very intensive. He’ll come for a day or two and basically do a short MOT of my body for eight to 10 hours a day. I sometimes think it’s like [ten-pin] bowling with the bumpers up. If I veer left or right, there is somebody to edge me back on to track.”
