LONDON, ENGLAND - FEBRUARY 26: Harry Kane of Tottenham Hotspur celebrates as he scores his teams third goal and completes his hattrick during the Premier League match between Tottenham Hotspur and Stoke City at White Hart Lane on February 26, 2017 in London, England.

After all the comparisons and analysis with respect to other top English strikers, one final factor that points to Kane being the best English striker in the PL is his age. His goals, all-around ability and consistency at the young age of 23 when compared to his compatriots who are 27 years of age and above take the Spurs striker to a pedestal higher than the rest.

The fact that he is outnumbering fellow English strikers consistently and slowly marching on towards becoming Europe’s finest at his age are proof of his sky-high potential and the feats he can accomplish if he continues in the same vein.

If he maintains his level for another decade then he can easily end up as one of the greats of this generation.

The above reasons prove why Harry Kane is currently the best English striker in the Premier League and while in terms of mentality he definitely needs to improve in big games, his goalscoring ability and all-round play ensure he is the current owner of the title of best English striker.
