Kane’s Tottenham Hotspur travel to The Hawthorns on Saturday to take on Pulis’ Baggies.
And Pulis reserved special praise for Kane and fellow homegrown team-mate, Ryan Mason.
Tony Pulis said Saido Berahino can learn from Harry Kane's example
Initially reflecting on Kane, and then 23-year-old midfielder Mason, he said: "They are fantastic players who have come through the Academy system.
"The supporters can relate to them.
"They are local lads, and both of them are Tottenham supporters I believe - Harry definitely - so it is really nice to have kids come through and play for the team."
Asked if he was a fan, Pulis added: "Kane has been outstanding.
"His attitude is so refreshing, and he has proven beyond doubt he has the talent to play in the Premier League.
"He did so well in respect of his early games, he brought life (into the team) and he actually carries the flag for them.
"He leads them out. They take the pace of the game off him at times, which is wonderful when you have a striker like that.
Tony Pulis also praised Kane's fellow Englishman and Spurs' academy graduate Ryan Mason
"To be fair to Tottenham they have certainly found two gems in those two."
When suggested to Pulis that Berahino and Kane are the two most exciting young English strikers in the country, he replied: "Saido has a long way to go. I don't think he is in that bracket yet.
"Kane looks as though he is a lad who has bitten the arm off to get that chance and he is not going to let it go.
"That is what you want, you want players to have that desire and commitment."
