Brennan Johnson, the Tottenham striker, has recently been in conversation with BBC Sport Wales discussing some of the world's best strikers. Interestingly, he showed a bit of bias towards a Tottenham legend - Harry Kane.
Johnson was asked to rank and rate some of the best-attacking players in football history. In an unexpected turn, he named Harry Kane as one of the best in the world. This ranking put him ahead of renowned players such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Kylian Mbappe, Erling Haaland and even his own father, David Johnson.
Brennan Johnson hails Harry Kane
When posed with questions like "Cristiano Ronaldo or Harry Kane?" or "Kane or Haaland?", without hesitation Johnson chose Harry Kane each time. His admiration for his fellow Tottenham player was evident throughout this discussion.
It is clear that Brennan Johnson is a massive fan of Harry Kane. Unfortunately for him though, they never got to play together at Spurs due to timing issues; The Wales international joined Tottenham just weeks after Kane departed.
The potential partnership between these two could have been interesting given their complementary styles; while Johnson excels at running behind defences with his pace and stretching them thin, on the other hand,Kane is known for dropping deep and playing passes behind for his teammates running through - arguably one of the best in business when it comes to picking out passes to on-rushing runners.
Is Kane better than Haaland, Mbappe or Ronaldo?
Whether or not you agree with Brennan that Harry Kane is better than Erling Haaland, Kylian Mbappe or Cristiano Ronaldo can be debated but there's no denying that his goalscoring record over recent years speaks volumes about his talent.
To be considered among these greats however ,Kane needs to win trophies. But in terms of individual talent, he’s up there with the best.
Regardless of the debate about his standing among other football greats, one thing is certain: Harry Kane is one of the greatest strikers of all time. His skill and talent have left an indelible mark on football history, a fact that even Brennan Johnson, a fellow professional player and fan, can attest to.
