Premier League 2018/19: 5 Top Contenders for the Golden Boot

2. Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur)

Kane looks set to reclaim the trophy that eluded him last season

Harry Kane has been on an upward curve since making his bow for Tottenham Hotspur in the league. He was unfortunate to miss out on the Golden Boot last term, despite scoring 30 goals. After Salah usurped him last time around, the Englishman would want to get his hands on the trophy come May 2019.

Kane hasn’t gotten off to the ideal start in the league and has fluffed 4 big chances already. Despite enduring a sticky start, he has gotten on the scoresheet twice while also providing an assist. As Kane has shown many a time before: he is a hard man to stop once he gets going.

Kane is an adept finisher inside the box while also boasting of long-range stunners in his locker. His ability to score a variety of goals makes him a near complete striker. His only weakness is his ability to miss big chances in big games. However, the Golden Boot doesn’t take into consideration when the goals are scored. Thus, Kane is one of the prime candidates to land the Golden Boot at the culmination of the season.

Kane narrowly misses out on the top spot but don’t be surprised if he is the one holding the trophy aloft when the season comes to a close.
