The former Lilywhites forward has praised a man who has enjoyed a magnificent start to the 2020-21 campaign
Peter Crouch says there is “no limit” to what Harry Kane can do, and that the Tottenham captain has become the club’s best “creator”.
Kane posted his eighth assist in six Premier League appearances when the Spurs earned a 1-0 win against Burnley at Turf Moor on Monday night.
The English international headed a cross from Eric Lamela directly into the path of Son Heung-min at the back post, who nodded past Nick Pope into the Clarets net to win the visitors all three points.
José Mourinho’s team is now two points behind leader Everton in the top flight standings, and there is talk of a title challenge mounting with every passing game.
Kane’s form has inspired Tottenham’s impressive start to the campaign, with the 27-year-old also contributing five goals to their cause while taking his partnership with Son to a new level.
The pair have combined for nine of Spurs’ 16 goals, bringing their total as an attacking duo to 29, putting them behind only Didier Drogba and Chelsea’s Frank Lampard as the deadliest pair in Premier League history. League.
Kane has been content to go down a bit more this season and choose Son’s runs in the final third, and Crouch has been hugely impressed to see him show off his passing range after so many years of being tied as a traditional center forward.
“There is no limit to what this kid can do,” said the former Tottenham striker. Pennsylvania. “I played with him when he was a kid at Tottenham and I was in the first team and he has always scored goals and has always been a finisher.
“He scores all kinds of goals, but when I see him falling deep and making those passes, it’s fantastic to see him and he’s become a creator of Son and it’s delicious when you add (Gareth) Bale there as well.
“The races they do are very fast and Kane’s ability to find them is just amazing. He goes deep into his pockets and chooses passes. He is Tottenham’s best scorer and also its best creator ”.
Crouch is confident that Spurs can compete for the biggest titles in 2019-20, but believes that a race to FA Cup glory is more likely than a tilt toward the Premier League crown at this stage of Mourinho’s project.
“It’s a crazy league and it seems like anyone can beat anyone at this point.” “I would say [Manchester] City and Liverpool are not as strong as before and other teams have become stronger. It’s definitely something to do with the fans not being on the ground, which is leading to some strange results and a lot of goals. The league is at stake.
“Can Tottenham win? I’m not sure, but I think they have as many possibilities as anyone. City and Liverpool have to be favorites just because they have been the strongest team in the last three years.
“People have criticized Mourinho a lot. It seems like he’s teaming up and building something again and you wouldn’t pass it up to win (something). Maybe the league is potentially too much for them, but for Tottenham fans, bringing the FA Cup home right now would be magical.
