The 23-year-old Trinidadian striker was Keane's marquee signing ahead of their return to the top division, having arrived on a £6m deal from Southampton. Although he is nowhere near the top of the scoring charts, with five goals so far in his 18 Sunderland games, his boss is more than happy with the return."Look at the top strikers and they probably get four or five chances a game," Keane began to explain. "Kenwyne gets one every four or five weeks.
"But it is his assists and overall play, his defensive work at set-pieces, which has impressed me.
"That's what we need. He is living off the crumbs and a lot of what he gets is down to himself.
"He is a good team player and you often find the top strikers are not team players, they're just about goals. But Kenwyne isn't, I wouldn't swap him.
"In my eyes, he's the best striker in the Premier League. If certain strikers are worth £20m he is worth £40m."
