England winger Anthony Gordon heaped praise on captain Harry Kane following another stellar performance at the World Cup. According to the new Barcelona signing, Kane's most impressive quality isn't just his ability to score, but the remarkable consistency with which he does it.

"What surprises me more is his consistency. Anyone can score a goal. At this level, every footballer is capable of putting the ball in the net. But with Harry, what sets him apart is the consistency with which he does everything. In every match, every training session – he's phenomenal. He plays at an exceptionally high level," Gordon stated.

Gordon went even further in his commendation, comparing Kane's season only to the achievements of Lionel Messi.

"It's incredible to be around him. He's at the top level. He's having a season that only Lionel Messi has had better. And Messi is the greatest footballer of all time. It's no coincidence that Harry is at this level. It's a result of the consistency and effort he puts in every day," Gordon emphasized.

In conclusion, the English international affirmed that Kane's presence in the dressing room is a huge boost for the entire squad. "It's incredible to be around him. He's definitely an inspiration to all of us," Gordon finished.
