Tottenham Hotspur hitman Harry Kane is now considered to be one of the best strikers in the world.
Spurs striker Fernando Llorente raved about the quality of his teammate Harry Kane, during an exclusive interview with ESPN, and shared how the 24-year-old is the player who has surprised him most since he made his summer switch from Swansea City.
The England international has been quite sensational once again this season, scoring 26 goals in 27 appearances in all competitions for Tottenham, and he has firmly established himself as one of the continent’s most feared front-men, having finished 2017 as Europe’s top goalscorer.

Kane’s form has made it next to impossible for Llorente to establish himself at Spurs, and the Spaniard has managed to notch up just two goals in 22 outings thus far, although most of those appearances have come from the substitutes bench.
Llorente spoke to ESPN about his start to life with the Lilywhites, and offered high words of praise for his 24-year-old teammate, labelling him as one of the top three strikers in world football:
“He is the player that has surprised me the most out of all of them at Tottenham. He is playing incredible football. I have very clear in my mind that he is among the three best strikers in the world. He scores many goals. He has many qualities. He is a centre-forward that plays very well with his back to the goal. He is strong, powerful, he can score many, many goals. You give him a second with space and he scores. He is spectacular.”
Next up for Llorente, Kane and co is a home game against Everton in the Premier League on Saturday, and a win will be of paramount importance to their hopes of finishing inside the top four this season.
