Kane's delight at winning Barclays Golden Boot

                      Hotspur striker Harry Kane scored in 2015/16

Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane has won the Barclays Golden Boot award after scoring 25 goals in the 2015/16 campaign.
His impressive haul was the highest by any player in this Barclays Premier League season, one clear of Leicester City’s Jamie Vardy and Manchester City’s Sergio Aguero.
He was all-but guaranteed of the accolade after Spurs’ campaign finished on Sunday, but he had to wait for official confirmation until Manchester United’s 3-1 AFC Bournemouth brought an end to the season, meaning nobody could catch him.
The 22-year-old becomes the first Spurs striker to claim the award since Teddy Sheringham in the inaugural 1992/93 BPL season, although Sheringham did net one of his 22 goals during that campaign for Nottingham Forest in August.
He is also the first Englishman to win the award since Kevin Phillips in 1999/00, when he netted 30 goals for Sunderland.

Kane’s 25-goal haul in 2015/16 helped Spurs to a club record third place and 70 points in the Barclays Premier League, and it followed his first full season in the competition when he finished second in the scoring charts with 21 goals.
“I’m really happy to have won it, especially in only my second full season in the Premier League,” Kane said. “To finish second in the scoring charts last year and follow that up by winning it this year is something I’m very proud of.

"As a striker there aren’t many individual awards you can win and this one shows you’ve had a good season throughout the whole campaign, that you’ve been a consistent performer."

The England international has now scored 49 goals in 83 top-flight appearances for Spurs, and his blistering start to life at the top level also included Barclays Player of the Month awards in January 2015, February 2015 and March 2016.
