Arsenal legend Paul Merson has says there is no one in the world like Harry Kane.
Kane has enjoyed a blistering start to the season, scoring 13 goals in 15 games across all competitions, helping Spurs to an excellent start which has seen them storm to the top of the Premier League table.
There were doubts over how the England international would match up with manager Jose Mourinho when the experienced Portuguese boss arrived late last year, but Kane is looking as good as ever.
And Merson agreed, waxing lyrical over the Spurs frontman.
"I just struggle with words to describe him," he told Sky Sports.
"He is not far off the best player in the world. And this is the reason: you have got players like Ian Wright, Alan Shearer, Sergio Aguero, Robbie Fowler, Andy Cole, Les Ferdinand, Jamie Vardy. All top, top drawer centre-forwards.
"Harry Kane is one of them, and then Harry Kane goes and plays where Kevin De Bruyne plays, where Eric Cantona played, where Dennis Bergkamp played, and he does it just as well.
"Name me one player in the world who can be a No 9, score goals, hold the ball up, be strong, and then go and play No 10, and put 60-yard balls through the eye of a needle, or run at the ball with pace with defenders all around you before picking out a ball to assist.
"There's nobody in the world like him. There's no other player in the world who can be as good as a No 9, and as good as a No 10. I don't think there ever has.
"Lionel Messi cannot go up front, hold the ball up, bring people into play, and then score bundles of goals, and then go and play No 10 in the same game. He's a No 10. Kane can do both."
"I cannot believe what I see with Kane. Some of the passes, crosses, they are Kevin De Bruyne! Harry Kane has started to do what Kevin De Bruyne does!"
Merson admits he himself doubted how Kane would perform under Mourinho, who is often linked with negative tactics.
"I was the first to say: will he be happy? Because he will be scoring less goals," he added.
"If you are not winning anything, you want to make sure as a forward you're scoring 25 goals and fighting for golden boots.
"It's a testament to Kane that he wants to improve his all-round game."
Kane will be looking to continue his form when Spurs take on London rivals Chelsea on Sunday with the two teams just two points apart heading into the mouth-watering clash at Stamford Bridge.
