Dele Alli looks like he'll, more likely than not, end up like Jack Wilshere or Aaron Ramsey - another overhyped and overrated British player. The last true world-beating Englishman was Rooney. If you want to count Brits overall, it would be Gareth Bale. None of these young English players even come close to their standards. Alli is good, but too often has English hype disappeared within a few years.
Glad to see Harry Kane not be another one-hit wonder. He's actually been impressively consistent.
Kane: 2,007 mins, 20 goals (5 assists) equals one every 100.4 mins (80.4 mins incl. assists)
Lukaku: 2,817 mins, 24 goals (6 assists), equals one every 117.4 mins (93.9 mins incl. assists)
Aguero: 2,054 mins, 17 goals, equals one every 120.8 mins
Sanchez: 2,539 mins, 18 goals (9 assists), equals one every 141.16 mins (94 mins incl. assists)
Zlatan: 2437 mins, 17 goals (5 assists), 143.4 mins (110.8 mins incl. assists)
Costa: 2,668 mins, 17 goals (5 assists), equals one every 156.9 mins (121.3 mins incl. assists)
Just some data I collected from WhoScored.
Oh hey, did you know that Harry Kane just joined the elite club of Premier league strikers who have scored 20+ goals for 3 seasons in a row? ( http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/39615446 ). Only Ruud van Nistlerooy (3) Alan Shearer (4) and Thierry Henry (5) are in that club with him.
And he's only 23 years old! Blimey, as they say...
