Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane can’t stop scoring.
Debate has raged over whether Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane is world class – and his Champions League performances are providing an answer.
The England international has stepped up and is producing his best form yet in the competition – and compares favourably with the world’s most expensive player.
Harry Kane has scored more goals than Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar, and he outranks him in other areas too.
Kane has had more shots, scores with a higher percentage of his attempts, wins more headers and creates more chances than the Brazilian.
He has done all of this in 18 fewer minutes than Neymar too.
| Total Scoring Attempts | Shots on Target | Goals | Scoring V Shooting Accuracy | Key Passes | Assists | Aerial Duels Won | Mins Played | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Harry Kane | 13 | 5 | 5 | 38% | 7 | 1 | 3 | 162 |
| Neymar | 7 | 3 | 2 | 29% | 5 | 2 | 0 | 180 |
Two games a piece is a small sample size, but to dismiss Kane as ‘not world class’ when this evidence exists would be wrong.
Both Kane and Neymar have faced weak opposition; APOEL Nicosia and Celtic; and strong opponents, Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich.
Spurs and PSG both have 100 per cent record so far, but it is Harry Kane who has been the more influential player.
