Former footballer Gary Lineker believes that Erling Haaland is a better striker than Harry Kane, although it is a difficult decision. Haaland's recent performance in Manchester City's victory over Manchester United has impressed Lineker, who praises his goal-scoring abilities. Lineker also acknowledges Kane's skills but ultimately favors Haaland due to his playing style and speed.
Gary Lineker has given Erling Haaland the edge over Harry Kane but insists picking the better striker is no easy decision.
Five goals in three games have seen Haaland return to his brilliant best in front of goal, following a tough run of one in five. He and Kane are different types of strikers and Lineker believes that while it's tough to separate the two, City's No.9 edges it.ALSO READ: Erling Haaland responds to Roy Keane chants
"You can say he scores more goals, but Harry Kane and his goal-scoring ratio, even now in Germany, is better than a goal a game as is Haaland’s. They are very different talents, very different footballers but both score a phenomenal amount of goals. "You need the right players with Harry Kane in that you need players to run past him and take those positions to try and get past the opposition's defensive line. I don’t think it’s a question anyone could answer with any degree of confidence."
