"He was great. He wants to take full advantage of his opportunities and he seemed to benefit, "he said at a press conference.
"We are delighted to have it. The competition for places is huge right now, everyone is fighting for a place and young people are not afraid to express themselves, to try their skills and to score goals and that's what we want .
Callum Hudson-Odoi trains with England
"As an English team, we want that flair and that flexibility. It is a great sign in this country that we produce this type of players. "
Hudson-Odoi has limited first-team experience, playing only 199 minutes in the Premier League, but was targeted by Bayern Munich who tried to sign for £ 35m in January.
Kane, who has borrowed several times before his breakthrough in Tottenham, has no worries about the lack of visibility of the young.
"Everyone has a different path to the top. Mine was on loan and was trying to get experience there, "he added.
"Callum has had a taste of the cup competition and a bit of Premier League and I'm sure he wants to gain that experience at the highest level.
"For him and the young players who go there, it is vital that they play and have that experience.
"Everyone knows that he is a fantastic player, but in football, there are ups and downs and that's part of the course.
"I do not doubt that he has the ability to play at the highest level."
Declan Rice won his first call in England
West Ham midfielder Rice is another new face on the Southgate team.
The 20-year-old left the alliance of the Republic of Ireland for which he played three friendly matches, confirmed by FIFA a fortnight ago.

"I'm sure it was a hard test for him. He appreciates the season he has had so far, "said Kane.
"He took the time with his family and close friends and the decision he made is what he thinks is the best for his future and no one can blame him."
"I can say that by being with him for a few days, he will give everything for his country."
