Sportskeeda's 10 best Forwards of 2017

#2 Harry Kane

He needs to work on that smile, though, if he wants to enter the truly big leagues - commercially

Right behind Cavani on the Golden Shoe Rankings and above Cristiano Ronaldo in this (please don't smash your device now) is the one-career-wonder turned once-in-a-lifetime center-forward, Harry Kane.

Having become the first person in 8 years not named Messi or Ronaldo to top the goal-scoring charts in a calendar year, Kane is in the form of his life - scoring truckloads of goals, smashing aside opposition regardless of their reputation - he, in fact, has as many hat-tricks in 2017 as Messi, Ronaldo, and Cavani combined! Which is quite simply a ludicrous stat.

Ronaldo is obviously the better footballer (by far - so please don't think I'm implying that), but 2017's top-scorer deserved this 2nd spot when it came to calendar year rankings - if only based purely on individual consistency.
