Hugo Lloris has shared that Harry Kane is the better finisher at Tottenham compared to his teammate, Heung-Min Son, as he told Premier League Productions (20/03/22 at 6:45 pm).

The Spurs goalkeeper labelled Kane’s finishing as ‘pure’ and added that he ‘belongs to the best’ players of the last 10-15 years.

Son netted a brace for his side on Sunday, as they recorded a 3-1 win over West Ham United in the Premier League.

Kane didn’t get on the scoresheet, but he did provide his record-breaking teammate with the two goals. 

Nonetheless, when Lloris was asked about who is the best finisher between both players, this is the response he provided.

“I believe there are two different styles of finishing,” said Lloris. “If you talk about pure finisher, then I think Harry is up there.

“He belongs to the best players in the last 10-15 years in football. I think he will never stop because he has this hunger inside himself.”

Spurs are sitting fifth in the Premier League table and are now three points behind Arsenal.

The issue for Antonio Conte and his players is that their north London rivals have played a game less, not forgetting they have sixth-played Manchester United breathing down their necks. 

Either way, that soon-to-be scheduled north London derby is going to be one tasty affair and one that can prove to be the game-changer in the race for fourth.

For the season as a whole, Arsenal have been the better team compared to Spurs, Man United and West Ham.

But, at the end of the day, it’s all about what you do during the business end of the campaign that matters most.
