#3 Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur)

Crystal Palace v Tottenham Hotspur - Premier League
The Hurri-Kane!

To simply put it, Harry Kane has been a revelation. The striker shot to fame in the 2014-15 season when he amassed 31 goals in all competitions for Tottenham. He has scored at least 20 goals in each of the past four Premier League seasons and already has 134 goals for the club.

He won consecutive Golden Boots in the Premier League, and is on course for a hat-trick. He also finished 2017 as the leading goal-scorer in Europe's top five leagues.

This season has been no different for the 24-year-old. He has 24 goals in 28 games, averaging 0.86 goals per game in the league and as a result, Spurs are pushing for a top-four finish. They have crucial fixtures against Chelsea and City coming up and Spurs will want their main man to be firing on all cylinders.

However, the striker was substituted on Sunday following an ankle injury and reports claim that it may be something serious. Spurs and England fans will certainly hope that that is not the case and would want their star player to return quickly.
