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.

The Newcastle winger has been ta💃king part i🅠n a TikTok challenge for JD Football where he had to choose between some of the very best players in the world.

Barnes’ tas💯k 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 ti🍒pped as a potential Ballon d’Or winner this year.

Ultimately, Barnes picked Kane over the Liverpool ace.

🌜The stats make it difficult to separate the pair, but the most telling n🐷umber is the number of trophies each player has won.

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

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

This is certainlt🌺y an interesting debate between two of the greatest players the Premier League has ever seen.
