Andy Cole surprised many by excluding Harry Kane and Erling Haaland from his list of top three strikers in the world. Despite their remarkable scoring records, Cole chose to highlight Robert Lewandowski, Karim Benzema, and Cristiano Ronaldo as his top picks.
Cole, a Premier League legend himself, scored 187 goals during his time with various clubs in the league, making his opinion noteworthy. However, his choices deviated from the expected, particularly with the omission of Kane and Haaland.
While Lewandowski, Benzema, and Ronaldo have undeniably impressive careers, with Benzema and Ronaldo now playing in the Saudi Pro League, and Lewandowski facing challenges at Barcelona, Kane and Haaland continue to shine in top European leagues.
Kane has excelled since his move to Bayern Munich, scoring 27 goals in 24 Bundesliga appearances this season. On the other hand, Haaland continues to impress at Manchester City, leading the Golden Boot race with 18 goals after setting the Premier League single-season record last year.
