Of the many good strikers in the Premier League, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Harry Kane rank quite high.
However, who is better? Both are trophyless more or less. So who is the more lethal striker? Well Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has had his say.
“I think they do talk but obviously with top players who are playing at clubs that are winning constantly, there is more impact on that,” he said when asked why Aubameyang was sometimes not listed with the current top strikers.
“But we all know how good Auba is. It is remarkable what he is doing and how consistent he has been over the years to do it, which is very very difficult to do.
“Harry Kane has scored 30 goals and never won the Premier League – there are a lot of good examples of players that do phenomenally, but unfortunately there are a lot of top teams in this country and only one wins the league so you can’t have everything in life.
“I think if he had been top scorer in the league, and won the league, then he would have been voted the best player in the league for sure. You need both.”
“I wouldn’t like to compare but what I can say with Auba is that he’s right there with the best of the scorers in this league,” he added.
“In the last 10 years if you look at his record and what he’s done in the game it’s phenomenal. In my opinion he’s up there with the best.”
