Paul Merson says Real Madrid are sure to make a big offer for Spurs’ Harry Kane in the summer, with under-fire forward Karim Benzema “not in the same class” as the 24-year-old.
Kane has been the subject of speculation linking him with the Bernabeu in light of a stellar 2017-18 and the Premier League’s top goalscorer was on target in Spurs’ midweek 2-2 Champions League draw at Juventus.
Speaking on Soccer Saturday, Merson called Kane “the best centre-forward in the world” and said he was in a different league to Benzema.
He said: “I would be worried if I was Tottenham because money talks. £200 million, or even £160 million is a lot.
“I can’t see how Real Madrid don’t go for him in the summer for £150-200 million. How’s Benzema playing for Real Madrid?
“He’s not in the same class as Kane. They’re a million points behind Barcelona and they need a new centre-forward.”
Harry Kane could better Alan Shearer's Premier League goals record if he maintains the form he has shown so far, says Robbie Fowler.
Charlie Nicholas added that the Spurs forward was now in the same class as Lionel Messi, who he outscored in 2017 despite playing 12 fewer games.
He said: “He could’ve scored three or four last weekend against Arsenal. We’re starting to think about Harry Kane about is he up there with the Messis – and he probably is.
“The reason for that is because it looks so effortless for him. The mix of goals he gets as a number nine, is quite remarkable.
“There’s a desire in him, he goes left, he goes right, he goes through the middle. He just loves scoring goals. He loves agitating people, without provoking the situation.”
