O'Hara makes bold claim Kane is 'better' than Haaland and Spurs have best front three

talksport.com, 8 August 2022, 09:29
Tottenham's front-three of Harry Kane, Heung-min Son and Dejan Kulusevski has been labelled the best in the Premier League.

That's the view of former Spurs midfielder and talkSPORT pundit Jamie O'Hara.

O'Hara is not afraid of nailing his colours to the mast - he predicted his old club to win the Premier League title after their 4-1 victory over Southampton on Saturday.

The English top flight boasts some incredible attacking talents with Liverpool and Man City adding to their ranks this summer.

Erling Haaland was in frightening form for City as he scored twice in their victory over West Ham, while Darwin Nunez came off the bench to turn it around for Liverpool with a goal and assist in a 2-2 draw with Fulham.

Even though Haaland has been added to Pep Guardiola's attack, and Nunez quickly slotting in at Anfield, there was no way O'Hara was choosing anyone but Tottenham's front-three.

"I genuinely think we have the best front three in the country," he told talkSPORT Breakfast.

"I don't think it is 'potentially'… I think it's fact.

"Man City have got Grealish, Haaland, who has only just come into the Premier League, and Foden - love Foden.

"Harry Kane is better than Haaland at this moment in time, and I'm basing it on what Harry Kane has done in the Premier League for a period of time.

"Haaland is still potential. I'm still taking into account what he has done in the Bundesliga.

"But at this moment in time, who would you want in your team?"

talkSPORT Breakfast host Laura Woods said: "Haaland."

O'Hara replied: "Really?

"Spurs have the best front three in the country… fact!

"Haaland is new, I get that. Grealish is not as good as Son. Haaland and Kane is up for debate.

"Kuluveski and Foden is a close call as well. Kulusevski is in unbelievable form right now and he's 22 years of age.

"It's up for debate."

A bold claim from O'Hara, but his verdict was backed by Rangers and Scotland legend Ally McCoist.

He added: "When you look at Kane, Son and Kulusevski, they are arguably the best front-three in the country. They are fantastic.

"You could argue Man City, we haven't talked about Nunez, Diaz and Salah, I'll suggest they're quite good as well.

"But I'll stand by it, Tottenham might be the best three in the league."
