Kane vs Salah stats
Barnes picked Kane over Salah heဣre, and this is a very interesting debate♉ to get into.
Both of these playersဣ almost defined the recent generation of Premier League attackers, and they’re both world🔯 class talents.
Statisti๊cally, it’s so hard to separate these two.
Harry Kane Premier League stats | Mohamed Salah Premier League stats | |
Games | 320 | 274 |
Goals | 213 | 165 |
Assists | 46 | 75 |
Golden Boots | 3 | 3 |
Playmaker Awards | 1 | 1 |
Trophies* | 0 | 5 |
Kane anᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚd Salah are both incredible goalscorers, but they’re also elite creators too.
🌜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.
