Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane has been named the PFA’s Young Player of the Year.
The England international rose through the ranks at Tottenham and has been one of the most talked about strikers in European football this season.
For a man who got his first league start this term in November, he has been one of the performers of the season in the Premier League. He has scored 20 league goals and has become the first Spurs striker since Gary Lineker in 1991/92 to have scored 30 goals in a campaign.
The 21-year-old was named the Young Player of the Year by his fellow professionals and was handed the award in a glittering ceremony in London last night.
Kane admits that getting the award is a proud moment for him and his family and stressed that the accolade will inspire him to work harder to improve further.
