Harry Kane has been earning plaudits galore in 2022/23. He recently became Tottenham Hotspur’s all-time leading goal scorer, and he would also be leading the Premier League’s Golden Boot race if it were not for the ridiculous campaign Erling Haaland is enjoying.
Irrespective of that impossible competition, the England captain has reached the 17-goal mark for the ninth Premier League campaign in a row. It’s a remarkable level of consistency, and has long since put paid to the ‘one season wonder’ jibes he faced early in his career.
Kane is also one of the most creative forwards in the English top flight, as was recently noted by Matchday365. They tweeted that he set up the most (Opta-defined) big chances among Premier League strikers in 2020/21 (14), then more than any player in any position last season (19). His total of nine so far this term was given as the most among strikers once again. The problem there is that Darwin Nunez (and others) will have something to say about that.
