Graeme Souness has picked his best Premier League player of 2017 out of Eden Hazard v Harry Kane
Souness was given the mission of deciding which Premier League players have had the best calendar year. And once he’d done that, the Sky Sports pundit had to narrow his four best players down to just one name.
Check out Souness’ verdict below on Eden Hazard v Harry Kane and find out who he thinks has had the best 2017.
Here’s what he said:
Kane’s goals last season and again this campaign… he’s single-handedly carried Tottenham at times.
Maybe the manager and some of the players won’t appreciate that comment but goals win you games. If you’ve got Harry in your team you don’t have to play well to win games.
I think he’s destined to be a star and he carries England’s hopes at the World Cup next year. Without him, life would be very difficult for England. With England, like Tottenham, they don’t need to play well to win games versus Hazard who, if you get a player who puts you on the edge of your seat then it’s him.
With Hazard you would like to push him more and I see him in some games where he’s unplayable and you’re thinking “he can join that elite group” but then on other days he seems disinterested. How you keep that fire lit under him I’m not quite sure.
But goals is the biggest thing in winning trophies and games where you don’t deserve to win them.
VERDICT: Harry Kane
Kane just because of the goals. He’s 24 so he can only get better. You look at him and he has a fabulous attitude.
