When he had the chance to return to help Brazil play in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in the South American zone, Ederson opened up that Kane, who is currently at Bayern Munich, was the most tense. 

“I’ve played up until now and I’ve come across some great strikers, especially in the English Premier League,” he told ESPN Brazil. 

“But I think the one who is the hardest to play against, the one who I think has the most quality, is Harry Kane.” 

“That guy is a multi-purpose player both inside and outside the box. When he’s in good shape and in shape, it’s hard to find a way to fight him.”

“From a personal perspective, he is the best striker I have ever faced.” 

The 30-year-old is set to be in contention for a trip to Peru (Oct 15) where the likes of Edison Flores, Alex Valera or Brian Reina Promotion ufabet should be able to keep a clean sheet.
