Ex-Tottenham star makes Harry Kane claim with Erling Haaland snub before Arsenal clash

Tottenham star Harry Kane has been backed as the best striker in the Premier League ahead of his side's clash with Arsenal in the North London Derby. The England captain is eyeing another famous performance against the old rivals, sitting one goal behind Jimmy Greaves as the club's all-time top goalscorer.

Kane is having a quietly impressive season so far, scoring 15 goals in 19 appearances in the league so far, though that has been overshadowed by the ridiculous numbers put up by Erling Haaland at Manchester City. Spurs boss Antonio Conte outlined just how important the forward is to his side ahead of the clash on Sunday.

The Italian told reporters: "You know very well much better than me the importance of Harry for us, for Tottenham but also for the national team because with the club and national team he has great numbers. We are talking about a world class striker and for sure he is going to beat every record.
