In 2015-16, he excelled again with 25 Premier League goals to claim the competition’s Golden Boot for the first time, leading to another PFA Premier League Team of the Year selection.
The goals kept coming season after season, named in the PFA Premier League Team of the Year numerous times. He also won the Golden Boot for the second time in 2016-17 as Spurs finished league runners-up, netting 29 times to finish four clear of Everton’s Romelu Lukaku.

He also won the Premier League Playmaker of the Season award and was named in the Team of the Year for a fifth time. Kane was linked with a move to Manchester City in that off-season but it never materialised despite a reported 127 million pound bid.
He won Spurs’ Player of the Year in 2022-23 as they finished a disappointing seventh under Antonio Conte, with Kane netting a joint career-high 30 goals, usurped only by Erling Haaland with a record 36 goals. Kane was heavily linked with a move to Bayern Munich in that off-season.
