After enduring loan spells all over England early on, Harry Kane finally burst onto the scene for Spurs in 2015-16, finishing as the league's top scorer. The following season, he proved he wasn't a one-season wonder by once again finishing as the league's top scorer with 29 goals.

Liverpool's Mohamed Salah pipped Kane to the golden boot in 2018 via 32 goals. Kane finished on 30 goals that year, his best tally so far.

'Hurrikane' Harry - as he's fondly called, recently got the footballing world buzzing due to a sensational strike against Juventus in a pre-season friendly. He scored from the centre circle.

That was certainly a statement of intent.

The Spurs hitman will be looking to finish once again as the PL top scorer. Last season, he finished with an unimpressive (by his standards) 17 goals. His season was blighted by a recurring ankle injury, and he could only watch for long periods as Mohamed Salah and co galloped away with the golden boot.

Mauricio Pochettino's team play a very exciting brand of football, and with the likes of Christian Eriksen, Dele Alli, Heung-Min Son, Eric Dier, etc, stringing the passes, Harry Kane will undoubtedly be among the goals once again.
