Teddy Sheringham praises Tottenham ace Harry Kane.
England’s Harry Kane shoots
Former Tottenham Hotspur and England ace Teddy Sheringham has praised current star Harry Kane, suggesting he has a better all round game than Alan Shearer.
Shearer retired more than a decade ago, but remains the Premier League’s all time leading goalscorer.
Sheringham believes Harry Kane has a chance of beating the record, arguing he is a more well rounded player.
He told The Sun: “He’s got everything I had and more. And he’s got everything Shearer had and more.
“Harry might not be the phenomenal scorer yet that Shearer was. But in his all-round game, he has more awareness. A touch more of a team player.
“Shearer would never pass to me like I passed to him or Harry passes to Dele Alli. Shearer’s Premier League record could be in danger.”
Harry Kane has four assists to his name this season, a figure which could be even higher if he had the opportunity to play with a strike partner, instead left to ply alone up front.
He is suddenly in danger of missing out on the Golden Boot, a race he has been leading.
