Chelsea attacking-midfielder Kai Havertz has described Tottenham Hotspur ace Harry Kane as a “top striker” ahead of England’s highly anticipated Euro 2020 clash with Germany at Wembley on Tuesday. Hailing the Spurs striker’s talents,
Kai Havertz said: “He is a top striker who is not a classic and not a false number nine. He’s something in between. He picks up the balls from behind, plays deadly passes to the front and is brutally good in the box. He has a great shot on goal and a good eye for the spaces. He’s difficult to grab for a central defender because he runs deep, comes short and can shoot. It is not for nothing that he has scored and prepared the most goals in the Premier League this season.”
Although Kane was the leading marksman in the Premier League in 2020/21, he has struggled to live up to expectations so far this summer, failing to deliver the goods that so many expected him to produce. But despite firing blanks in England’s opening three games of the tournament, it has not forced Chelsea into retracting their interest in his services this summer.
