AS GOOD AS MESSI

Italian legend Chiellini puts striker Kane on the same level as little Barca magician, Ronaldo & Neymar

JUVENTUS legend Giorgio Chiellini claims Harry Kane is “irreplaceable” after rating him on the same level as Lionel Messi.

Chiellini believes it is impossible to put a price on Kane because he is so important to Spurs, but fears Real Madrid will end up getting him.

The in-form England striker will go

head-to-head with Chiellini tonight in the Champions League and was paid the ultimate compliment by one of the world’s best defenders.

Chiellini, capped 96 times by Italy, said: “Kane is now among the elite players in the world. Kane is the complete player. Over the last years with the goals he’s scored he’s been on the level of the best.

“Messi, Ronaldo, Neymar – Kane’s been on that level, one of those players that is irreplaceable, and I’m sure Tottenham will be doing all they can to make sure he stays.

“It’s now a game where you can’t even guess at valuations anymore. There are maybe four or five teams who will pay whatever they need to pay to get the player. Huge sums.

“When one of those four or five teams want a player they usually get them.”
