West Ham manager showers praise on Tottenham star Harry Kane and makes Robert Lewandowski claim
West Ham United manager David Moyes has claimed that Harry Kane is right up there with Robert Lewandowski as one of the very best strikers in the world.
He also stated that Manchester City’s Erling Haaland is also up there with Kane and Lewandowski as he prepares his Hammers side to take on Spurs later today (19 February).
Funnily enough, Bayern have been heavily linked with Harry Kane ever since Lewandowski left the Bavarian giants to join Barcelona last year. No move has materialised.
But it shows that Bayern perhaps share the same view as Moyes. Speaking before his side’s trip to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the former Everton and Manchester United manager said (h/t Football.London):
“Kane is a top player. If you’re talking about the best strikers in the world, Kane is probably alongside Lewandowski, for example. And the next one is on the way up, the likes of Haaland, if he’s not already there. People who have records which are incredible.”
Kane recently became Tottenham Hotspur’s all-time top goalscorer when he scored the only goal in his side’s 1-0 win against Manchester City earlier this month. He would surely want to dismantle Alan Shearer’s record of 260 Premier League goals in the near future.
He is currently on 200 goals and would want to increase that tally against West Ham. The comparisons to Lewandowski make sense, considering both Kane and the former Borussia Dortmund centre-forward are tall, deadly in front of goal, have an aerial threat, and are instinctive with their decision-making in the final third.
Lewa has more trophies than Kane and is farther along the development curve than the Englishman considering their age difference, but they are truly two of the best strikers in the world.

The 29-year-old has registered 19 goals and three assists in 32 games across competitions this season. Lewa, meanwhile, has 23 goals and six assists in 29 games this term. Kane would hopefully increase that against West Ham – a team he has scored against 11 times in 21 meetings across his career.
