Sky Sports pundit has Gary Neville has lavished praise on Harry Kane, with the Tottenham Hotspur striker in scintillating form at the moment.

The England captain was amongst the goals again at the weekend, striking a late winner against West Bromwich Albion at the Hawthorns to briefly send Spurs top of the league.

That took his tally to 13 goals in all competitions, but that isn’t the full story.

Kane has also been incredibly creative this term, laying on 10 assists – mostly to partner-in-crime Heung-min Son.

The 27-year-old is in a brilliant moment, and Neville couldn’t help but wax lyrical.

He said on his podcast: “Wayne Rooney I’d put up there with him, but Alan Shearer was an outstanding striker. Harry Kane has so much similarity in his game in terms of mentality.

“Ice cold, doesn’t seem to flinch if he misses a chance, doesn’t seem to flinch if a goalkeeper saves one, he’ll come back and do the right thing, almost like a process, scoring a goal is like a process for them.

“They know where the target is and they’ll hit that target and that position that is most likely to get them the goal and it is methodical. He is brilliant, Harry Kane.”

TBR’s View – High praise completely warranted

It is clear to see how much of a fan Neville is of Kane, and his praise is obviously completed justified.

Not only do the numbers speak for themselves, but Kane is an outstanding professional and works so hard to push his game as far as it can go.

It would take a brave man to bet against him one day surpassing Shearer as the Premier League’s all-time leading goalscorer.
