Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville has claimed that Tottenham Hotspur's Harry Kane should now be regarded as one of the best centre-forwards in world football.
Kane's brace against Huddersfield Town on Saturday afternoon took his season tally to 11, and the England international has now scored 36 times in all competitions during 2017.
Neville has placed Kane in the same category as the likes of Robert Lewandowski and Edinson Cavani, and has also said that the 24-year-old is now worth £150m on the current market.
"Before the game we put him in the categories of Alan Shearer and Wayne Rooney and I'm comfortable to sit here and put him in the category of Lewandowski, Cavani, those world-class centre-forwards," Neville told Sky Sports News.
"I think you can take [Lionel] Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar a little bit out of it. They're incredible, they're freaks. But of what you would call the traditional centre-forwards, the number nines, Cavani, Lewandowski, Shearer... I'm really comfortable putting him in that company. And they're outstanding centre-forwards.
"He's 24. Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Manchester United, City, Chelsea - every single one of those clubs would want him now. They'd pay £150m for him because they know they're going to get six, seven, eight years of gold, of delivery, of goals, of professionalism. You can't say anything higher than that. This is a great, great player."
Kane has now scored 110 times in 174 appearances for Tottenham, including 35 goals in 38 games last season.
