5 early picks for PFA Player of the Year award

N
N'Golo Kante was voted the PFA Player of the Year for the 2016-17 league season

#3 Harry Kane

Arsenal v Tottenham Hotspur - Premier League
Harry Kane is now one of the most consistent strikers in the Premier League

He was labelled a one-season wonder. Then it became two and now three. However, Harry Kane does not look like he is slowing down. If anything, he is only getting better and better.

The 24-year old won the PFA Young Player of the Year in 2015 with 21 league goals for Tottenham. He followed it up with back-to-back Golden Boots in the last two years scoring 25 and 29 league goals respectively.

The Spurs striker was a key player in his side's consistent top 3 finishes in the past 3 years under Mauricio Pochettino. He is not the quickest but makes up for the lack of pace with great awareness, positioning and a brilliant finishing ability.

It does not hurt that he is adept with both the feet.

The North London side have followed Leicester and Chelsea closely in 2016 and 2017 respectively for the PL title but fell short in the end. Thus, the team will be itching to go that final mile and an ever-improving Harry Kane will be the lynchpin.

If Spurs launch another assault this season, then expect the Englishman to be at the forefront for both the Player of the Year and Golden Boot awards.
