Real Madrid idol claims 'there aren't many strikers like Harry Kane' | OneFootball

Michel Salgado believes Harry Kane is already one of the world’s best strikers and that he can only improve from his current level.

Kane scored 41 goals for Tottenham last season, already adding five in his two World Cup appearances so far, making him the current top scorer in Russia.

England face a tricky last 16 tie against Colombia on Tuesday, but Real Madrid legend Salgado has backed the striker to carry on his goalscoring run.

“Harry Kane. He is the big one,” Salgado told Betfair. Kane is the top-scorer, a world-class striker and the most confident player in the England side right now.

“You know that in any chance he is going to be there to try to score. There aren’t many strikers like him in football right now.

“He has got so much confidence and if England plays on the counter-attack obviously Kane is the one to finish it. Kane is the man any England opponent must control.”
