    I kept telling people these last few years at Spurs that he’d become at least a top 5 player in the world and they’d call me crazy. Or that saying he was as good if not better than lewandowski was ridiculous. Now if I said he’s top 3 no one would bat an eye. He’s doing what he’s always done, hasn’t gotten any better, just on a more dominant team. He’s world fucking class and has been that way since 2015

      His 2020/21 season does not get talked about enough. Top scorer with 23 goals, Top playmaker with 14 assists.

      It is legitimately up there with some of the best PL seasons I’ve watched from players like Salah, KDB, Hazard, Rooney, etc.

      Difference is all of those players did it in title winning sides. Kane did it with 7th place Tottenham.

      Didn’t even win the PFA for it.

        Last year’s doesn’t either. 30 goals in an 8th placed side that was a complete basket case.

      He partly suffered due to how shit Spurs was, partly due to people getting used to his level. This is actually normal for him, yeah.
