Fabio Capello says Harry Kane is the only player he’d swap Paulo Dybala with

Former England manager and legendary Italian coach, Fabio Capello, has said only Harry Kane would be suitable in a swap deal involving Juventus star, Paulo Dybala.

Dybala has been linked with a move to England, with The Express claiming just this month that a potential £72m deal could be on the cards.

However, such a mammoth deal seems some way off at the moment, given the global pandemic is still in full swing worldwide.

And speaking to Gazzetta dello Sport, Capello lauded Dybala as a player who can do everything, insisting he would only consider Spurs star Kane as a potential replacement.

“Dybala can do everything on the pitch if he is well, even playing in a trident with [Alvaro] Morata and [Cristiano] Ronaldo. Paulo reminds me of Savicevic, he too preferred to start from the right. He had great vision and special dribbling abilities,” Capello said.

“I said I wouldn’t swap Dybala to get Pogba. If I could, I’d trade him with Tottenham’s English striker Harry Kane.”

Kane has been in explosive form for Spurs this term under Jose Mourinho, although Dybala has struggled, something Capello attributed to Covid-19.

Obviously, Tottenham would be unlikely to consider any such deal involving Kane, given his importance to the team.

Dybala has been classed in the world class group of players for a number of seasons now so for Capello to compare Kane to him is quite the compliment for the Spurs ace.

The biggest difference is Kane has been producing the goods while Dybala has struggled somewhat. It goes without saying, then, that any notion of a swap deal would, in reality, make little sense.
