The Bayern Munich striker highlighted Manchester City man Erling Haaland and Barcelona frontman Robert Lewandowski as his two favourite centre-forwards.
“I think Erling (Haaland) is a really good goalscorer, obviously one of the best in the world at the moment, a real machine physically, so he’s got to be in there” said Kane to ESPN.
“Lewandowski, I think really top striker for many years now. Still doing his thing, and he was someone especially early in my career I used to watch playing for Bayern.
“They are the two out-and-out nines who I like to watch nowadays.”
