Kane said on Amazon’s YouTube channel when asked about the best defender he has faced in the Premier League, as transcribed by Football.London: “Oh, good question- obviously, [Virgil] Van Dijk is a fantastic defender.
“He’s been consistent now for Liverpool over many years and he won the Premier League and won the Champions League.
“So, he’s a tough defender and he’s doing great this year after his injury last year.”
Deserved praise for Liverpool
In our view, the praise that Van Dijk has deserved from Kane is well deserved and shows just how highly he is rated among his rivals.
Kane is one of the best players on the planet and is a world-class striker.
So, the Tottenham star saying that Van Dijk is the best defender he has faced in the Premier League tells volumes.
In our opinion, the Netherlands international is one of the best centre-backs on the planet.
Van Dijk has not exactly always best at his imperious best this season, but the former Celtic star remains a player who can always be relied upon.
