Harvey Barnes suggests Tottenham sold a player he would pick over Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah

Harvey Barnes has been comparing some of the biggest names in world football.

ꦰThe Newcastle winger has been taking part in a TikTok challenge for JD Football where he had to choose between some of the very best players in the world.

Barnes♓’ task was rather straightforward, but there was one very difficult decision he had to make.

Indeed, the Newcastle star had to choose between Harry Kane and Mohamed Salah at one point.

Kane, of course, is one of the best strikers in the world, while 🐓Salah has been tipped as a potential Ballon d’Or winner this year.

Ultimately, Barnes picked Kane over the Liverpool ace.

Kane vs Salah stats

🤪Barnes picked Kane over Salah here, and this is a very interesting debate to get into.

⛎Both of these players almost defined the recent generation of Premier League attackers, and they’re both world class talents.

▨Statistically, it’s so hard to separate these two.

*Overall trophies for Tottenham and Liverpool

♊Kane and Salah are both incredible goalscorers, but they’re also elite creators too.

ꦡThe stats make it difficult to separate the pair, but the most telling number is the number of trophies each player has won.

🌠Kane is yet to win a single trophy in his career, while Salah has won everything there is to win at Liverpool.

✃For that reason alone, Salah may beat Kane in these arguments most of the time, but Barnes clearly seems to prefer the Tottenham legend.

🥀This is certainlty an interesting debate between two of the greatest players the Premier League has ever seen.
