I would say so
he is absolutely INCREDIBLE
i've lost count of how many goals he has scored 46 or 7 right now
he will easily break the british record ogf 52 in a season
i wonder how he didn't get frostbite on his tongue in the winter

He is undoubtebly one of the best strikers is Britain but you should take the fact that he plays in the SPL into consideration I think.
He is a very sharp striker and I do rate him quite high but I doubt he would even score 25 goals in england.Just look at Chris Sutton, he was total crap when he played for Chelsea but as soon as he went to Scotland he started bangging in the goals.Half of it is down to having one of the best managers in the world in scotland, Martin O'Neill, but also the SPL is weaker than the EPL,there is no dispute in that argument.
Howver he is top-notch!

Just remeber that Jonaton Johansson was a rangers reserve and and he's scoring for fun down there.Mark Viduka is a good striker and scoring a lot down there but he is in NO WAY better than Larsson

I also like Larsson a lot but talk is cheap..... scoring 40 goals in the SPL is one thing, doing it in England, Italy or Spain is another. Don't get me wrong - I looooove Larsson (in a good way) :D he is great player! But a lot of people will not believe he is world-class until he plays somewhere else.

Talk is cheap ? The guys has scored 40 + goals, and talk is cheap. If talk is cheap, why don't we see other players in below par leagues scoring 40+ ( all leagues excluding the 'elite' English, spannish, italian league )
Give credit where it's due, to bang in so many goals in any league shows talent.

Henrik Larsson must be a pretty good player to have scored 49 goals so far this season, but as someone said before, Chris Sutton, when he was at Chelsea he was rubbish and now he is one of the top scorers in the SPL and Ramon Vega, hardly ever playing for spurs and now he has scored about 3 goals for Celtic and he's a defender.

So you have to say that someone like Teddy Sheringham or Louis Saha could probably do about the same on current form.

From Turkey we can't find much chance to watch Scottish premiership. But I know that Larsson is a good striker. I haven't seen any of his goals since he scored against Turkey.
