JURGEN KLOPP believes Harry Kane is a bigger all-round threat than Romelu Lukaku.
The Liverpool manager shut out seven-goal Lukaku in last weekend's 0-0 draw with Manchester United at Anfield and now hopes to do the same to Kane at Wembley on Sunday. Klopp rates England striker Kane as world class and expects him to pose altogether different problems to Lukaku when eighth-placed Liverpool try to close the four-point gap on Spurs in third.
The Metro report Klopp as saying: ‘I don’t have to judge these two. They are both fantastic strikers.
"The difference is that Harry is much more a part of the game when he is not scoring – but I am pretty sure Lukaku can make these steps too.
"‘We avoided the balls to Lukaku and that must be a key for Harry as well." Kane, 24, has hit six goals in helping Tottenham to 15 points from their eight Premier League games this season.
Real Madrid and United themselves are thought to be among his biggest admirers, although Kane has insisted he would be happy to say at Spurs all his career. And Klopp is keen to stress that Kane is just one of many attacking prongs in Mauricio Pochettino's creative Tottenham side.
The former Dortmund chief said: "If we are too concentrated on one player then Dele Alli is everywhere or Eriksen shoots from everywhere with decisive passes. "It is a good team so you cannot be concentrated on one player.
"It will be a big challenge for them in the next few years because Harry is not only one of the best strikers in Europe, he is one of the best strikers in the world, 100 per cent."
