Tottenham striker Harry Kane is as lethal and prolific as all-time great Gabriel Batistuta, but he's no brute

Harry Kane is like Gabriel Batistuta in two respects: immense shooting power and a devastating ability to win matches.

I locked horns with Batistuta in 1999 when Arsenal played Fiorentina at Wembley in the Champions League. He was one of the best strikers I faced.

Like Kane, Batistuta could score goals from almost any position. Give him an inch of space and he would punish you.

Batistuta struck the winner for Fiorentina in the Champions League against Arsenal at Wembley in 1999
Both Kane and Batistuta can score from any angle and they have immense shooting power
He scored 296 career goals, mostly coming in Serie A for Fiorentina and Roma

He struck the winner that night at Wembley, darting into the box before rifling an unstoppable shot across David Seaman into the top corner from the tightest of angles.
