Carragher: My dream Premier League signing

Jamie Carragher has revealed that Tottenham striker Harry Kane would be his dream signing if he could pick any Premier player.

The England international, who scored a brace on the weekend away to Everton, has increased his Tottenham tally to 101 goals in just 169 appearances, reaching the milestone of 100 goals faster than former strikers including Ian Wright, Robbie Fowler and Didier Drogba.

Speaking to 'Sky Sports', Carragher was effusive in his praise of the Spurs striker's ability, as well as his attitude.

"He may not be the best player in the Premier League, though he wouldn't be far off. He'd be in the top bracket," Carragher said.

"But if I was a manager and I could pick one player from the Premier League in my team, I'd pick Harry Kane because I think he's an absolute guarantee every season of 25 goals.

"Over a four or five year period he'll be getting another hundred and he looks very strong mentally.

"He looks as if the only thing he focuses on is football and he doesn't get involved in any other nonsense.

"He's in the top class."

Carragher's words have been echoed by one of Kane's former managers, Sam Allardyce, who will know all about Kane's talent from his stint as England manager.

Speaking alongside Carragher, Allardyce tipped Kane to break into the 'world-class' circle of players soon.

"As a goalscorer he's getting into the world-class area," Allardyce said.

"He's continued to consistently score goals from every type of goal you look for.

"Not only that, his hold-up play outside the box has improved tremendously. It looks like his upper body has got stronger. He can hold off defenders now and take the physical side of it.

"His movement and his working off Dele Alli is a great partnership. It's like they are instinctive together now.

"He really has come on an awful lot in his all-round game, not just his goals."
