Tottenham striker Harry Kane has been named the PFA Young
Player of the Year.
Kane has enjoyed a superb breakthrough season at Spurs, scoring 30 goals in all competitions – more than any other player in English football this term – at only 21 years of age.
He has gone from strength to strength in Mauricio Pochettino’s
first season in charge at Tottenham, scoring his first Premier
League goal against Aston Villa on November 2 and his 20th just
23 games later against Newcastle on April 19.
His form, which has included a first Premier League hat-trick
against Leicester, earned him a first senior England call up and he scored on his international debut against Lithuania on March 27.
Kane, who came through Tottenham’s youth ranks and was
farmed out for loan stints at Leyton Orient, Millwall, Norwich and Leicester to gain first-team experience, was also named in the PFA Premier League Team of the Year.
"It is amazing. It is a very proud moment for myself and my family– hopefully the first of many to come," Kane said of his award which he picked up during a ceremony at the Grosvenor Hotel in London.
"I have got to keep working hard, but to be recognised by your
fellow players is something special and it is a night I won’t forget.
"It is incredible, an incredible feeling." Asked to sum up his season in one word, Kane went for: "Unreal."
