The Tottenham striker has received much praise recently.
Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Hugo Lloris has claimed that Harry Kane is the best striker that he has ever played with.
Kane hit the headlines this week as his hat-trick against Southampton saw him overtake Alan Shearer’s record of 36 Premier League goals in a calendar year, while he also scored more goals than Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in 2017.
Frenchman Lloris has played with some high quality strikers at club and international level, including Thierry Henry, Nicolas Anelka and Kylian Mbappe, but feels that Kane is superior to all of them.
As reported by Sky Sports, Lloris said: “I’ve never played with a striker capable of scoring so many goals in a year. I’ve played with a lot of top strikers and probably he is the best I’ve played with.”
Kane will hope to win the Premier League golden boot for the third season in succession and he is currently on track to do just that – he has 18 goals, three more than his closest challenger, Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah.
In addition, Kane will be determined to make a major impact for England at the World Cup next summer as he aims to prove to provide further evidence that he really does belong in elite company.
Tottenham will hope that Kane’s exploits are sufficient to help them secure a top four finish in the Premier League and also perhaps gain silverware in the Champions League or the FA Cup.
