Thierry Henry: Morata, Kane and Lukaku are not world class like Aguero

THIERRY HENRY believes Sergio Aguero is the only world class striker in the Premier League.

Man City striker Sergio Aguero scores BEAUTIFUL goal

Romeu Lukaku has made a scintillating start to life at Manchester United, scoring six in as many Premier League games.

Alvaro Morata has equally made his mark at Chelsea, most recently with a hat-trick against Stoke at the weekend and Harry Kane has scored 20+ goals in each of the last three seasons for Tottenham.

But not one of those strikers is on the same level as Manchester City striker Aguero.

That’s according to Arsenal legend Henry, who claims the Argentina international is on another level to the other three forwards because of his longevity at the top of the game, both domestically and globally.

I think we sometimes bypass Aguero like he didn't happen but we all agree that stats show he's the best

"The closest to being world class, or is world class, or has been world class is Aguero because of the longevity of what he has done in the Premier League year in, year out," Henry told Sky Sports.

"He's won the league here and got to the final of the World Cup. He's been doing it the longest so you have to give him a bit of credit. 

“I think we sometimes bypass Aguero like he didn't happen but we all agree that stats show he's the best.

Thierry Henry believes Romelu Lukaku, Alvaro Morata and Harry Kane aren't far away from Aguero

"The other three, they will be [world class] but they are not yet. Lukaku has only just arrived at Manchester United and he's not played in the Champions League.

"We always talk about world class and the debate is always there, but Aguero is the closest to it.

"The others, I have no doubt will be. Kane himself said he's not in that bracket yet because of the reasons I mentioned.

"We should be happy to have these guys in the Premier League."
