#1 Harry Kane

Undoubtedly the best striker in the Premier League, Harry Kane is expected to maintain the similar level of consistency that has propelled him to such heights over the past few years. Kane is a traditional number 9 with exceptional finishing skills, and hence scores a massive number of goals from inside the box.

Kane is not as dynamic as Diego Costa, nor does he possess the dribbling skills of Mo Salah. However, at the end of the day, scoring goals is of paramount importance for any forward player and no one does it better than Kane. His ability to emerge at the right place at the right time, incredible strength to hold the ball and the tendency to spread the play to the flanks are of extreme importance to the way Spurs' operate.

Kane can bully defenders in the air, and his accuracy while heading the ball is commendable too. Moreover, Kane exudes confidence in abundance during difficult situations, often demonstrating his composure and mental strength while taking important spot-kicks.

With the likes of Christian Eriksen, Dele Alli and Son-Heung Min playing behind him, he also has the quality service to convert the chances into goals.
