‘Hard one’… Jordan Pickford says player Tottenham sold is his toughest ever opponent
Jordan Pickford has played against some of the very best players in world football.
For England and Everton the goalkeeper has faced up against the likes of Mohamed Salah, Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland over the years.
But the man himself claims that one of his England teammates is the hardest player he has ever faced.
In fact, Pickford claimed on Everton’s YouTube page that, due to his amazing finishing ability, former Tottenham striker Harry Kane is the hardest player he has ever faced.
Harry Kane is Jordan Pickford’s toughest opponent
The Everton goalie spoke about the striker.
“Toughest opponent I’ve faced? It’s a hard one as a goalkeeper that. A finisher, Harry Kane,” Pickford said.
So difficult
We have to sympathise with Pickford here.
Playing against a player like Kane must be so painful sometimes.
Pickford will know Kane’s game like the back of his hand having trained alongside him so many times for England, and yet, he’s still almost impossible to stop.
The striker just has that innate ability to score goals, and he can score any type of goal as well.
Fortunately for Pickford, Kane has since moved to Bayern Munich from Tottenham, so unless Everton manages to qualify for Europe at some point in the near future, Pickford won’t likely have to face the striker too often.
Even the greatest goalkeepers in the world frequently are unable to come close to Kane’s powerful and accurate shots, making him a nightmare to play against.
Given that Kane doesn’t appear to be winning any trophies with Bayern Munich this season, it is unfortunate that Tottenham had to let him go this summer. Kane is without a doubt one of the best strikers we have ever seen in the Premier League.
