Premier League 2018/19 Golden Boot: Top Contenders at the start of May 2019

#6 Harry Kane (England, Tottenham Hotspurs) 🡻🡻🡻

Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester United - Premier League

Goals Scored - 17

The England Skipper picked up a ligament injury during the 1-0 first leg win over Manchester City in the Champions League Quarter Finals and has been out of action ever since. It is highly unlikely that Kane will return to action again this season, and his absence has cost his team dearly in the race for a top 4 finish. Tottenham are still third in the table, but need a strong finish to ensure they stay there, especially since they had a mixed month of April.

Kane played just one game in the month, the 2-0 win over Crystal Palace where he failed to score. Since then, Tottenham have won 2 and lost 2 in the league and have clearly missed their talismanic skipper. Kane has scored 17 goals from 28 games this season, but the injuries have damaged his chances of winning the Golden Boot this time.

As of now, Kane is 6th among the top contenders, and is averaging a goal every 143 minutes per game. He is ahead of Sterling in this list only due to a better goals per game ratio.
