Emile Heskey compares Harry Kane to Michael Owen's peak

Emile Heskey discussed the comparison between Harry Kane and Michael Owen during a recent interview. Heskey, who played alongside Owen, acknowledged Kane's impressive statistics but leaned towards Owen for his all-around threat as a forward. He highlighted the significance of Kane's recent Ballon d'Or win in his 30s compared to Owen's award at 21, emphasizing that Kane's achievement deserves appreciation given football's ageism. Heskey suggested that Kane's ongoing excellence should be celebrated rather than questioned as he ages.
