Nuno Espirito Santo has told Sky Sports that Tottenham Hotspur ace Harry Kane is ‘one of the best in the world’.
What’s the story?
The Portuguese manager enjoyed a fantastic debut with Spurs, as his side beat Manchester City 1-0.
Heung-Min Son curled a beauty into the bottom-right corner to give the Lilywhites a winning start.
However, it was Tottenham’s star striker who dominated the post-match reaction.
Nuno was questioned about his talisman, to which he responded in full praise of the 28-year-old.
The former Wolves boss claimed Tottenham are ‘very lucky’ to have the centre-forward at the club.
When talking about Kane, Nuno told Sky Sports (viaFootball Daily): “Harry is one of the best players in the world, so we are very lucky to have him. Harry worked this morning, is preparing himself and when he is ready he will join the group and help the team.”
Kane could stay at Tottenham after Nuno comments
Prior to yesterday, you could have been forgiven for imagining it would be like groundhog day.
Nothing was expected of Spurs as they faced the reigning league champions in their opening game.
However, through a mixture of attacking dynamism and stout defensive football, Tottenham overcame the odds.
What would the talisman have been thinking?
Kane could stay at Tottenham after the comments from Nuno.
The Premier League opener may have opened his eyes to the true quality of the current side.
Last season was a struggle under the stubborn management of Jose Mourinho. The Portuguese coach’s lack of flexibility hampered the side as they struggled.
However, if Spurs can continue to play in the manner they did yesterday, trophies may not be too far away.
