After being named the 35th best player in the world in the Goal 50, the Tottenham striker is backed to top the goalscoring charts again in 2016-17 as Spurs push for the title.
Harry Redknapp is confident that Harry Kane can again win the Premier League Golden Boot this season, despite his unfortunate start to the campaign.

However, after Kane was named as the 35th best player in the world in the 2016 Goal 50, Redknapp believes that many more accolades will come his way.
“Kane will be close to being the leading goalscorer again this season, Redknapp said.
“Everyone wrote him off last year after only four or five games and he ended up being the top scorer. He won’t be far away again this season, make no mistake.”
Former Spurs manager Redknapp says that he noticed Kane’s talent from an early age but that he needed to improve his physical attributes in order to become the player that he is today.
“When I was there, we let him go out on loan when he was 17, 18, 19,” he explained.
“He has come back now and he has grown and got strong. He is an outstanding player. I wasn’t surprised by him; we always knew he was going to be a great player.
“Tim Sherwood worked with him in the Under-21s and he always thought he was going to be a great player. We always thought he would be great as a kid; we just needed him to get stronger.
“It is not easy to be a teenage striker in the Premier League so we had to wait but now he is level-headed, intelligent and a fantastic footballer.”
