Kane has been absolutely red-hot in 2017, with his double against Everton on Sunday taking his season tally to 19 – one ahead of Romelu Lukaku.
However, while the Belgian is set to tail off as the season goes on according to the stats, Kane is set to go from strength to strength.

The Tottenham forward scored eight times in the games earlier this season against the 11 teams Spurs are yet to play – which includes the matches against Bournemouth and Leicester he missed through injury.
When adding in the two goals he scored at home against the Cherries last season, Kane will finish on 29 goals – the most of any Premier League player since Luis Suarez in 2014.
Costa, who netted last night against West Ham, is expected to finish in joint-second on 25, level with Ibrahimovic.

The Spaniard is expected to score eight more times between now and the end of the season.
While that return may not be enough to win the Golden Boot, it will surely be enough to see the Premier League title head back to Stamford Bridge.
Elsewhere, in-form Sunderland striker Jermain Defoe is predicted to reach 19 goals - having netted 14 for the relegation-battling Black Cats already this term.

Kane's goals have been coming at just 99.32 minutes apiece, compared to 121.44 for Lukaku.
Costa, Ibrahimovic and Defoe are way back on 130.11, 133 and 166.57 respectively.
So all in all, things are looking up for Tottenham star Kane as Spurs bid to close the gap on Chelsea at the top of the Premier League table.
