Tottenham Hotspur had a convincing 5-1 win this weekend over Newcastle United, allowing them to jump into the top four momentarily with Arsenal yet to play their fixture against Crystal Palace.
Despite not scoring a goal in the fixture against Newcastle, Harry Kane did factor in generating scoring chances for the north London club. The 28-year-old had one assist and had three key passes in 90 minutes.
After Spurs thumped The Magpies, pundit David Ginola compared the England international to Argentina legend Diego Maradona. The Sky Sports pundit raved over Kane’s playmaking, leading him to liken the Tottenham man to the Napoli legend.
“The new playmaker at Spurs is Harry Kane,” Ginola said on Sky Sports (via Metro). “I told you – Harry Kane, the playmaker, the number 10, he’s like Maradona now.”
“He’s playing in the middle of the park, long balls, short balls, scoring, assisting, wow. This is a new Harry Kane.”
Kane will need to continue this form to help Spurs reach the top four and put pressure on Arsenal and Manchester United. This weekend the Red Devils dropped points; meanwhile, now The Gunners need to pull out at least a draw to leap over their north London rival in the standings.
He is very good and world class ,but the best in the world ? Nope. The best in the world carry an entire team when everyone is playing bad. Win games on their own from nothing. Kane is a very good finisher but he also has very good players around him.like Son finishing etc.When Kane wins stuff for spurs than we can call him the best in the world. Right now the bar is set far too high for him to be considered that.
Definitely the best all rounder in the world today.
I have a lot of time for Daveed but when I saw it I wasn’t comfortable with the comparison.
Maradona was a slimy cheating cokehead.
Still this is the modern world and they tell me I should forget Michael Jackson’s “sleepovers” as his music was really good.
It takes no imagination , a real no – brainer , Harry Kane is currently and probably has been for a while , The Best Player In The World . You would have to look far and wide for someone comparable . Please dont tell me Messi , MBappe , Lewandowski , Haaland et al .
As far as I see it , only Kevin De Bruyne is anywhere close in the Prem , the Best league in the World we are told .
He has taken striker/creator to a new level , he has strong work ethic and total team player . What more has he to do ?
I really hope we get to play Arsenal with “4th” on the line , what an occasion to look forward to , a genuine history making match and I’ll tell you something — we’re better than them ==== C O Y S !!!!!!!!!
