#3 Harry Kane
It almost feels like Harry Kane’s stock couldn’t be much higher right now – he’s already scored 32 goals in 33 games across all competitions for Tottenham this season, including 6 in the Champions League group stages. He most recently shot down Spurs’ biggest rivals Arsenal in the North London derby. But in Europe at least, he has yet to face a defence quite as mean as the one he’ll be up against in the form of Italian champions Juventus.
Juventus only conceded 5 goals in the group stages – only four sides conceded less and when you consider that they had to contend with one of the most dangerous attacking outfits in Barcelona in their group, that statistic seems even more impressive. And the likes of Giorgio Chiellini, Alex Sandro and Andrea Barzagli are regarded amongst the best defenders in the world.
If Kane can score goals past a defence as tough as that – particularly if his goals allow Tottenham to make the Champions League quarter-finals for the first time since the Gareth Bale-driven 2010/11 season – then nobody could possibly deny his place as one of – if not the – world’s best strikers. His stock would simply go through the roof.
