Seems like few have watched him play closely this season. He’s been great.
What he might start to miss in speed (never been a speed player really) he makes up for with mature decisions. 13 goals and 3 assists in 18 matches - thats just not a player in the middle of a decline. He just bags the goals even though his team plays crappy.
I can however understand the concerns on here whether he’ll fit Ten Hags brand of football when he drops down so much. But from what I understand, counter attacking football is not really the end goal of Ten Hag’s football. I just dont see similarities with Rooney’s decline, who looked very unsharp. Maybe Kane’s lost a bit of his screamers, but he’s even better at positioning himself the right places now.
Main concern is probably when buying a player of his calibre, will he be okay if a new player emerges and challenges for his position. If he goes here, he is probably promised unlimited game time, so the most important thing is whether Ten Hag think he’ll match our style of football for the next 2-3 years.
