Harry Kane has been in brilliant form for Tottenham Hotspur for the past three seasons.

Clive Allen said on Kick Off on talkSPORT on Thursday evening (broadcast from 7pm, July 27, 2017) that Tottenham Hotspur star Harry Kane is the best centre-forward in the Premier League.

The former Tottenham forward also claimed that the England international, who scored 29 goals and provided seven assists in 30 Premier League matches for Spurs last season, is possibly the best centre-forward in the world.

“At the moment I would say – and people will say I am biased – Harry Kane is the best centre-forward in the Premier League, possibly in the world,” said Allen about Kane on Kick Off on talkSPORT on Thursday evening (broadcast from 7pm, July 27, 2017).

Kane has been superb for Tottenham for the past three seasons, and there can be no doubt that he is one of the best strikers in the Premier League.

But is the 24-year-old the best in his position in the English top flight? What about Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero?

As far as Kane being the best striker in the world is concerned, there are better players in his position in mainland Europe.

Barcelona’s Luis Suarez, Robert Lewandowski of Bayern Munich, Gonzalo Higuain of Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain’s Edinson Cavani all could lay claim to being the best centre-forward in the world.
