HARRY KANE

TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR GAMES: 49 GOALS: 33

-

Tottenham Hotspur will not be able to brandish any silverware this season, but it can surely boast of having one of the best strikers in Europe in Harry Kane.

A natural goalscorer who has cemented his place among Europe’s elite, Kane has won two English Premier League Golden Boots in the past six years and has scored more than 20 league goals in four of them. After a docile performanc­e in the last couple of seasons, the English striker is back to performing at his best, with 33 goals in 49 appearance­s in all competitio­ns in 202021. Kane found the net 23 times in 35 appearance­s in the Premier League, but scoring is not the only aspect the allrounded striker brings to the table; he possesses a natural ability to nd people for goals as well.

This season, the Premier League has seen the magic of the Harry Kaneheung Min Son duo as both have constantly assisted each other for goals. Kane has 13 assists to his name and has created 14 big chances till now, which proves how well polished his football is.

With 166 goals, Kane has surpassed Robbie Fowler’s 163 to become the seventhhig­hest scorer in Premier League history.

One might argue that a striker of Kane’s calibre should have won his rst major trophy by now. His career at Tottenham has earned him plaudits and he has grown as a player immensely. But silverware is something that has eluded Kane during his stay at the North London club.

Recent news from England is that Kane wants to leave the Spurs this summer, but it remains to be seen whether he does so — and which club he goes to if he does go.
