Ben Foster says Arsenal have a player who has more flair than Tottenham legend Harry Kane

Harry Kane has inflicted a lot of pain on Arsenal over the years.

The former Tottenham star was the biggest reason why Spurs enjoyed a little spell where they were better than their North London rivals.

Since Kane’s departure, however, Tottenham have struggled, while Arsenal have become one of the best teams in world football.

The Englishman has been performing brilliantly at Bayern Munich, and he is still among the best strikers in the game.

But, there are two traits where he isn’t as good as one Arsenal star, claims Ben Foster.

Ben Foster says Arsenal star Bukayo Saka has more flair than Harry Kane

Bukayo Saka is Arsenal’s best player.

The England international has been absolutely amazing for the Gunners. He is one of the biggest reasons why Mikel Arteta’s men have been so good over the years.

Saka has been out injured since Christmas, and Arsenal have badly missed him. If he was fit and firing, there’s no way they would be 12 points behind Liverpool at this stage.

Kane has definitely achieved a lot more at the top level in terms of goals, but what Saka has been doing at his young age is nothing short of phenomenal.

The Hale End graduate has won an FA Cup and two Community Shields as well, while Kane has no trophies to his name.

In a video on Goal, Foster claimed that Kane is better at shooting and has better technique too. The former Watford goalkeeper also believes that the Tottenham icon is more reliable and shows up at clutch moments.

But, Foster did admit that Saka possesses more flair, and he also claimed that the Arsenal number seven is more reliable than the Bayern Munich star.

Bukayo Saka should aim to beat one Harry Kane record at Arsenal

Kane is an out-and-out striker, so it will be extremely difficult for a winger like Saka to match his goal tally in the coming years.

However, there is one record that Saka can break – in the North London Derby.

Kane has scored more goals in games between Arsenal and Tottenham than any other player in the history of the rivalry between the two sides in the Premier League.

The Spurs legend has 14 to his name in 17 games, and although Saka has only scored three, there’s still a lot of time for him to catch up.

We truly believe that Saka will end his career with more goals in North London Derbies than Kane if he stays at Arsenal until he’s in his 30s.
