Harry Kane boasts “absurd quality”, says Ederson, with the Manchester City goalkeeper pleased to see the prolific striker at Bayern Munich.


Prior to completing a big-money transfer to Germany in 2023, Kane spent several years in the Premier League becoming Tottenham’s all-time leading goalscorer. He lined up against City and Ederson on a regular basis, with the England captain always posing plenty of problems to Pep Guardiola’s side.


Brazil international Ederson told ESPN when asked to pick out the toughest frontman he had faced: “Man, I've faced a few strikers, especially in the Premier League. But I think the most difficult one, the one I've seen with the most quality, is Harry Kane. He has an absurd quality, both inside the box and outside, when he comes out to receive play, he has a lot of quality. So, from my point of view, he was one of the best strikers I've ever faced.”


Guardiola always has a plan for players such as Kane, with Ederson adding on his demanding coach at the Etihad Stadium: “He's a nice guy, he's sometimes annoying, in the sense of [being] demanding, because he has to [be] demanding to a professional [player], and he's also angry when he has to be angry. But he's a nice guy off the pitch, and he's a very, very demanding guy on it. And he's also a guy who gets angry like any other person, like any other coach, when things don't go well, when the team doesn't play well. Of course, we know that we're not going to be able to play 70 games at a brilliant level, of course, in one game or another, there's going to be a dip.”


Defending Premier League champions City, who are hoping to see Guardiola agree an extension to a contract that is due to expire next summer, will be back in action on Sunday when taking in a trip to Molineux to face Wolves.
