The Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United men are two of the best strikers in the world.
Tottenham and Belgium ace Jan Vertonghen addressed the media today, ahead of his country’s clash with England in their final group game on Thursday, and responded when asked to compare Harry Kane with Romelu Lukaku, as quoted by the Mirror.
The Spurs and Manchester United hitmen are widely considered to be two of the most dangerous strikers on the planet, and they will arguably only get better.
Kane, 24, scored 41 goals in 48 appearances in all competitions for Tottenham last season, whilst Lukaku, 25, bagged 27 goals in 51 outings for United.

Vertonghen plays with Kane for Spurs, and is Lukaku’s international teammate with Belgium, so he knows better than most the the ins and outs of both players’ games.
The 31-year-old sat down to speak with reporters today, and responded when asked to describe the main differences between the two strikers’ style of play, as quoted by the Mirror:
“Harry and Romelu are very similar, but very different. Both are very ambitions, both leaders. On the other hand, Harry is a bit more of a target man and Romelu can take a team on his back – you kick the ball up front and he’ll make something of it.”
Belgium meet England on Thursday night, where a win for either side would see them top the group, and the outcome of the game will surely hinge on whoever fares best out of Lukaku and Kane.
