Thomas Vermaelen believes that you don’t find many strikers like Tottenham Hotspur’s Harry Kane these days.
Speaking to AFP, Barcelona defender Thomas Vermaelen has described Tottenham Hotspur hitman as a ‘complete player’ ahead of tomorrow’s Champions League showdown at Camp Nou.
Spurs travel to Catalunya knowing that victory would guarantee their place in the last 16 of the competition.
In fact, if Tottenham better Inter Milan’s result at home to PSV Eindhoven then will also seal their progression into the knockout phases.
All eyes will be on Tottenham star Kane as he looks to improve on his four-goal haul in the competition so far, having also bagged nine in the Premier League.
But the 25-year-old offers more for the Lilywhites than simply goals, and the former Arsenal captain has reminded his team-mates of the physical threat that Kane carries.
“He scores goals but in play too he is strong, which is not so common now,” Vermaelen told AFP.
“He is at that level where he could play for any club in the world, a complete player, no doubt.”
Kane is indeed the total package as far as strikers go.
He has many different weapons in his arsenal. He is exceptional with both feet, has pace, hold-up play, power and can head the ball with the best of them.
It’s fascinating to see how the Tottenham star – who scored in the reverse fixture at Wembley – fares against a world-class side away from home.
