Brazil boss Tite compares strengths of Gabriel Jesus, Harry Kane

Brazil boss Tite has suggested that it is difficult to make a direct comparison between Manchester City's Gabriel Jesus and Tottenham Hotspur's Harry Kane.

The two forwards have scored 22 goals between them in all competitions this season and ahead of Brazil's clash with England at Wembley Stadium, Tite has admitted that the duo are both "strong strikers".

However, Tite has insisted that the players possess different qualities, although the Brazil chief heaped praise on Kane, who is absent from Tuesday's clash due to injury.

The 56-year-old is quoted by PA as saying: "The characteristics of Gabriel Jesus and Kane are a bit different. Gabriel attacks the space, gives us that depth; Kane is more positional. They're two strong strikers.

"Kane is a penalty box player with an impressive finishing ability. He's good in the air, good with his right foot and left. It's very impressive, he has a lot of quality."

Brazil captain Dani Alves has described teammate Jesus as "the new Ronaldo".
