There is no denying it: Harry Kane is one of the hottest strikers in the Premier League right now. In fact, the Tottenham ace could become an English top-flight icon given his meteoric rise at such a young age.
On Saturday, the Spurs ace took to the field in their early clash with Bournemouth. The hosts brushed aside their opponents 4-0, with Kane scoring the third goal of that match.
That was his 20th goal of this campaign – a tally only Romelu Lukaku of Everton can better. Kane is only 23 years but is outscoring the likes of Alexis Sanchez, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Sergio Aguero, and Diego Costa – more experiences attackers.
That goal by the Tottenham forward saw him set an impressive goalscoring feat. He has now scored 20+ goals in three consecutive seasons since his explosive debut in 2014/15.
And if you think that is an easy feat to achieve, think again. Only three strikers have scored 20+ goals in three consecutive seasons – Thierry Henry, Ruud van Nistelrooy, and Alan Shearer.

This means Kane has joined a group that consists of three of the deadliest forwards to have graced the Premier League. And the Englishman did this despite having missed nearly 10 weeks of action.
