Mauricio Pochettino: Harry Kane might be better than Cristiano Ronaldo… he’s a killer
MAURICIO POCHETTINO has made a stunning claim - He thinks Tottenham striker Harry Kane is better than Cristiano Ronaldo!
Harry Kane admits win over West Ham was a fantastic result
Kane hit a hat-trick as Tottenham thrashed APOEL Nicosia 3-0 last night in the Champions League.
Ronaldo, meanwhile, returned to goalscoring ways as he hit a double in Real Madrid’s 3-1 win away to Borussia Dortmund.
And Pochettino thinks Kane is up there with Ronaldo, if not better.
“Cristiano is fantastic one of the best, Harry is one of the best and maybe better because he is young but I cannot talk about that because both are fantastic, the kind of players you want in your team,” Pochettino said.

Kane will turn their attentions back to the Premier League on Saturday (12:30pm) when they travel to face Huddersfield.
