Nobody like Harry Kane

Among the many surprises that this unusual football season is bringing us, negatively affected by the pandemic, is one that will make the most lovers of statistics happy.

Among the common names there is also room for surprises.

To believe it, you have to look at the overall ranking of the best assistants, taking into account the five strongest leagues in Europe, namely Serie A, the Premier League, the Bundesliga, Ligue 1 and La Liga.

At the top is the man no one expects.

Because this special ranking is led by the one who, usually, receives assists and willingly turns them into goals. The reference is to Harry Kane.

The Tottenham striker, during this edition of the English championship, has served 10 times for a goal to his teammates.

An extraordinary statistic when compared to the technical characteristics of the player and, above all, to the fact that he had provided only 7 assists in the last three years.

Much of the credit, of course, must be attributed to the work of Jose Mourinho, who, after taking charge of the London team, managed to turn the English “bomber” into a functional axis in the service of the team.
