Despite missing a significant chunk of the Premier League season, Harry Kane was crowned Golden Boot winner in England’s top flight for the second campaign in a row. With 29 goals in just 30 appearances, Kane deserves plenty of credit and he is now widely regarded as the most lethal striker in England; even more so than Sergio Aguero and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Harry Kane: A Fantasy Football Manager’s Dream

According to BBC Sport, the England star scored a goal every 87 minutes of Premier League football this season – an incredible statistic considering how competitive the division is. And when you take his injury problems into account, his ability to bounce back and continue scoring goals on a regular basis is unrivalled in English football.
Next season, Kane could get even better. With no international distractions this summer, the Spurs frontman can harness all of his efforts on getting into prime shape for the new campaign. While Mauricio Pochettino is likely to bring another striker into the club before the transfer window shuts, Kane has well and truly cemented his spot as Tottenham’s main man in attack.
And with Spurs looking to challenge for the title in 2018, the 23-year-old might be about to break a few more top flight records. For example, there were just six Premier League trebles throughout the entire campaign; Kane bagged four of those. In addition, he has now scored six top flight hat-tricks during his career – only four men (Michael Owen, Thierry Henry, Robbie Fowler and Alan Shearer) have recorded more.
If Kane manages to surpass the 30 mark next season, Spurs will be there or thereabouts in the Premier League title race. As of May 24th, Pochettino’s side are priced at around 8/1 to win the crown, with punters able to maximise their potential return with offers such as bet365’s £200 welcome bonus available from thebookiesoffers.co.uk. With a hungry Kane leading the line and looking to create more havoc, Tottenham may be ruthless up front.
The fantasy football managers dream
In fantasy football terms, Kane really is a manager’s dream. The 23-year-old may come at a cost but he is well worth it and selecting Kane over somebody like Wayne Rooney is a no brainer. This is now Tottenham’s time to shine on the biggest stage of all and England star Kane can lead Spurs to glory. This is the beginning of a new era for Tottenham; a new arena worthy of hosting Champions League football awaits…
So when July comes and you are looking at who to choose ahead of the new season, don’t shy away from Harry Kane. The ‘one season wonder’ tag has well and truly vanished and it would be foolish to look past the Tottenham man. He is Pochettino’s main man and Spurs are only going to get better – Kane could end up as the leading points scorer in fantasy football next season.
