Who is the best centre-forward in the world?
Season 8, Episode 2, Aug 19, 2021, 05:20 PM
The Squawka Talker Football Podcast returns with an episode focussed on one thing and one thing only: strikers.
Following Romelu Lukaku's £97.5m return to Chelsea and Harry Kane's continued transfer saga, there is no better time to take stock of the current pool of elite strikers.
Host Feargal Brennan is joined by Muhammad Butt and Jake Entwistle to discuss how the role of the centre-forward has changed over time before analysing the best No.9s in the world right now: What makes them so good? What are their greatest strengths? How would you describe their role? Who would you rather sign?
In the final part of the episode, a closer look at some of the different types of centre-forward that have emerged - or stood the test of time - using some extremely niche stats.
