The 2017/18 season was Kane’s most fruitful campaign to date, scoring 30 Premier League goals and converting 11 more in other competitions – but the striker is on course to hit similar returns this term if he maintains his current ratio.

Despite hitting a career-high 30 Premier League goals during the 2017/18 season, Mohamed Salah pipped the England striker to the Golden Boot with 32. To date, Kane has collected three Golden Boots, in 2015/16, 2016/17 and in 2020/21.

In all competitions, Kane has netted 165 goals for Spurs with his favoured right boot and scored another 100 with his left foot and headers combined, in almost equal measure – while roughly one goal out of 10 has been fired from outside the box.

Kane was keen on a blockbuster move to Manchester City before the start of the 2021/22 season and claimed he had a ‘gentleman’s agreement’ with Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy to sanction the move – but Levy blocked the bid and Kane stayed with Spurs.

The striker appears to become increasingly dangerous over 90 minutes, with his goal ratio rising across 15-minute intervals until hitting the peak of his powers at the start of the second half and in the final 15 minutes of games.
