With Everton travelling to Arsenal on the final day of the season, the odds are massively in Kane’s favour to win his second Golden Boot in successive seasons.
And the 23-year-old has described his current campaign as the best of his career after running rings around Leicester’s defence.
The England star started the night on 22 league goals but finished on 26Reuters
He said: “I wanted to get one or two goals at least and take it to the final game.
“I am in the driving seat but there’s still one more game. I am not resting on my laurels but I hope to get four more.
“It probably could have been more. It is the first time in my professional career that I’ve done that, there has been a bit of build-up on the race for the golden boot and I wanted at least one or two to put the pressure on but to get four is amazing.

"I’m now sitting at the top, but we go in with the same mentality, to make sure we win first and foremost and then score as many as I can.
"We are a bit disappointed not to get a clean sheet for Hugo, who is going for the golden glove but all in all it was a good night.
"It was probably one of the best performances of the season.
"I think this is my best season, I missed 11 weeks out and to score the most in a Premier League campaign, I worked hard during my injury to ensure I came back in better shape than I started."
