Tottenham’s Harry Kane
Tottenham Hotspur star Harry Kane has showered heaps of praise on Everton striker Romelu Lukaku, saying he is a great player.
Both Kane and Lukaku have enjoyed a superb 2016/17 Premier League campaign with their respective clubs, and fought each other till the very end for the Premier League Golden Boot.
In the end, Kane narrowly edged past Lukaku to win the prestigious award.
Lukaku earlier suggested that he doesn’t look up to Kane for any teaching as he does not feel that the Spurs star could teach him anything.

However, Kane is unfazed by the questioning of his credentials. He says that there is a always a healthy battle between strikers, but he considers the Belgian as a great player.
“I saw some stuff on Twitter, Spurs fans having my back,” said Kane, as quoted by The Times. “It is what it is. Lukaku’s a fantastic player. We went to the wire with the golden boot.
“Obviously as strikers, it’s always that kind of little battle. That’s his opinion. In my opinion, he’s a great player and I’ll always feel that way.”

Both Kane and Lukaku are great players and are great assets for their respective clubs. It seems Kane is not too perturbed with what Lukaku thinks about him, rather he intends to do the talking on the football pitch.
Kane scored 29 goals in the Premier League last season, while Lukaku came just short with 25 goals to his name.
