Where does Harry Kane stand among striker GOATs? Ex-Tottenham team-mate Son Heung-min hands out lofty ranking

<p>Spurs captain Son spent eight productive years working alongside Kane in north London before seeing the club’s most prolific goalscorer <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/tottenham-100m-harry-kane-sale-heung-min-son-really-sad-bayern-munich-broke-special-connection/bltd80d79e267e93606 " target="_blank">depart for Bayern Munich in 2023</a>. Between them, they set a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/kane-son-new-shearer-sheringham-england-spurs-strike-force/16pbdv6zdxq8n1gutfuupb7dr4" target="_blank">new Premier League record for most assists</a> recorded by one top-flight duo.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Son still holds Kane in the highest regard, telling <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyXw1fwSYQs " target="_blank"><em>TNT Sports</em></a> when asked – as a former Hamburg and Bayer Leverkusen star – whether he offered any words of advice before his ex-strike partner headed to the Bundesliga: “I think, still the German league is one of the best leagues also and when we’re talking about Harry, I don’t have to give him any advice. For me, he’s the best.”</p>

WHAT SON HEUNG-MIN SAID

<p>The South Korea international went on to say when asked <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/harry-kane-can-join-cristiano-ronaldo-lionel-messi-exclusive-club-england-main-man-tipped-euro-2028-34/blt5402ad47d7a29484 " target="_blank">where Kane ranks among the world’s best frontmen</a>: “Because he's my friend, obviously you get some bonus points. He will always be [in] my top three. It doesn't matter what happens, he will always be in my top three. Especially [as] we had such an amazing connection and played together [for] so long and we combined together for so many goals and yeah, having this kind of a striker is always a dream.”</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Kane has been just as <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/harry-kane-picks-dream-signing-bayern-munich-tottenham-chance-could-happen/bltce1c61e386995e23 " target="_blank">quick to sing the praises of Son</a> down the years, telling a recent interview with <a href="https://www.lequipe.fr/France-Football/Article/Grand-recit-harry-kane-ma-fin-de-carriere-sera-riche-en-trophees/1530605 " target="_blank"><em>L’Equipe</em></a> of a colleague that will always hold a special place in his heart: “I got on incredibly well with Heung-min Son. I also think he's one of the most underrated players in the top leagues. We've always had a very good technical relationship.”</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Son had seen his <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/barcelona-eyeing-free-transfer-tottenham-talisman-son-heung-min-contract-uncertainty/bltab37a64f6dde3147 " target="_blank">own move away from Tottenham speculated on</a> as his contract in England began to wind down, but a 12-month extension option through to the summer of 2026 has been taken up. Kane, meanwhile, is tied to a deal in Munich until 2027 and is <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/harry-kane-backed-end-trophy-curse-bayern-munich-avoid-catastrophe-tottenham-hero-spurs-return-cant-ruled-out/blt3f872e5872ada9c5 " target="_blank">still looking for his first piece of major silverware</a>.</p>
