Top 5 European Golden Shoe contenders

#4 Harry Kane

The Premier League’s top marksman in each of the last two seasons, Kane has shown unremitting excellence in front of goal. He mustered 29 strikes in England’s top flight last season, which was a tally all the more remarkable given that he missed eight matches due to injury.

If he can keep himself fit, there appears to be little reason why he cannot maintain a goals-per-game ratio that is virtually one.

There are, however, fears that Spurs’ failure to invest in the transfer market, plus their season-long move to Wembley could break the momentum that has seen them established as such a force in the Premier League, finishing as runners up to Chelsea last term.
