Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has told Sky Sports that if he was a manager and could pick one player from the Premier League in his team, then he would take Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane.

Carragher has also praised the mentality of Kane, and has claimed that the striker is top class.

Harry Kane of Tottenham celebrates scoring to make it 1-0 during the pre-season match between Tottenham Hotspur and Juventus at Wembley Stadium on August 5, 2017 in London, England.

“He may not be the best player in the Premier League, though he wouldn’t be far off,” Carragher told Sky Sports. “He’d be in the top bracket.

“But if I was a manager and I could pick one player from the Premier League in my team, I’d pick Harry Kane because I think he’s an absolute guarantee every season of 25 goals.

“Over a four or five year period he’ll be getting another hundred and he looks very strong mentally.

“He looks as if the only thing he focuses on is football and he doesn’t get involved in any other nonsense. He’s in the top class.”

Kane is one of the best strikers in the Premier League and has consistently scored goals over the past three seasons.

The England international has won the Golden Boot for the past two seasons, scoring 29 goals in the league in 2016-17 and 25 in 2015-16.

Back in the 2014-15 campaign, Kane scored as many as 21 goals and provided four assists in 28 Premier League starts.

The 24-year-old Englishman works hard for his team and helps out defensively as well.

Tottenham’s progress as a team and club over the past three or so years has been largely due to Kane’s goals, as the North London outfit seem to have found a gem of a striker.

Spurs finished second in the Premier League table last season and will be aiming to win the title in 2017-18.
