Top Contenders for the Premier League Golden Boot at the start of the 2019/20 season

#4 Harry Kane (England, Tottenham Hotspurs)

Injuries cost Harry Kane the Golden Boot last season

The Englishman was firmly in the race for the Premier League Golden Boot last season, until two injuries more or less ended his season. Harry Kane was on a goal scoring spree of 5 goals in 5 games when he tore his ankle ligament in the 0-1 loss to Manchester United at home in mid January. The Englishman missed 4 games, before returning in the end of February. He appeared in 6 games, scored 3 more goals and picked up a ligament injury in April which saw him miss the rest of the season. In the end, the Englishman finished the season with 17 goals from 28 games.

As such, Kane will be inspired to make up for lost time this season. The Englishman has been central to Tottenham’s recent resurgence under Mauricio Pochettino. Kane is a true leader of the Spurs team and has started the new season on fire. The Englishman scored a brace in a fantastic 3-1 comeback win against Aston Villa in the opening weekend and he is 4th among the top contenders for the Premier League Golden Boot this season.
