"Very strong mentality, very strong shot, great professional. You can compare."For me, OK, I put Batistuta there, " he said, raising one hand above the other, "and Harry there," with his other hand a little lower. "But Harry can be better. He is a killer, Harry Kane. Look at the goals he scored the last years! Mental level? Yes. Absolutely [they are the same]."Maybe they have different characteristics but I think he is in that level, with Batistuta." Pochettino added: "I would put Harry Kane in with Batistuta. All that is happening to him he deserves. He is the protagonist of his life, and he deserves all the prize."</blockquote>
