Tottenham striker Harry Kane has praised Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk for the roles they’ve played in Liverpool’s title challenge this season.
Salah , who is currently away with Egypt at the African Cup of Nations, has superbly spearheaded the Reds’ attack with 23 goals and 11 assists across all competitions.
Whereas Van Dijk has been in imperious form since returning from injury and has been an integral part of Liverpool’s improved defensive displays,after their centre-back crisis last season.
In an interview with Amazon Prime Video Sport Kane was asked for his views on a number of topics.

One question put to the Spurs striker was who he thought was the Premier League’s player of the season so far.
“I think Mo Salah has been fantastic," Kane replied.
“He’s had a fantastic start to the season, big reason why Liverpool are up near the top as well.”
The England captain was also pressed for his thoughts on who was the best player he played against in the league this term and once more he chose a Reds star in the shape of their commanding Dutch centre-back.
“Van Dijk’s a fantastic defender, he’s been consistent now for Liverpool over many years," Kane added.
“Obviously won the Premier League and the Champions League.
“Tough defender, he’s been doing great this year after his injury last year.”
