Karren Brady believes that Tottenham forward Harry Kane is in a rare bracket of Premier League players that are “priceless”.
The West Ham vice-chairman also lauded Liverpool playmaker Philippe Coutinho and Chelsea’s Eden Hazard, who have been influential for their respective teams this season.
Kane has played a major role in Spurs’ second-placed finish in the top flight this season and has now reached 20-plus league goals for three consecutive years.
The 23-year-old has been in blistering form this year and has hit 32 goals in 37 appearances across all competitions, with a couple of injuries the only thing denting his impressive statistics.
Brady has recognised the quality of the England international and his recent four-goal heroics at Leicester proved his class.
“How could (Jurgen) Klopp ever replace a man of Philippe Coutinho, or Chelsea’s Eden Hazard, or Spurs’ Harry Kane?” Brady wrote in her weekly Sun column. “In a way, all of them are priceless.
Kane has become a crucial first team player since graduating from the academy and benefited hugely from several loan spells to help his development.
The English striker has become an automatic pick for both club and country in years, with the latter hoping he can deliver the goods on the international stage too.
Kane and teammate Dele Alli are both recognised as two crucial components of Mauricio Pochettino’s side as they look to establish themselves at the top-end of the Premier League.
However, Brady picked out prolific goalscorer Kane as priceless and he will be looking to seal the Premier League golden boot on the final day of the season.
Meanwhile, Brazilian ace Coutinho is guiding Liverpool towards a top-four position this season and has managed 13 goals plus nine assists in his 35 appearances.
Hazard has been in similar form for Premier League champions Chelsea and made 41 appearances across all competitions, scoring 16 goals and supplying seven assists in return.
