Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane has had a dream 2017, which saw him recently nominated for the Ballon d’Or.

Kane is on course to potentially win a third consecutive golden boot and has been touted as a potential signing for Real Madrid.

The England striker still has some work to do to convince everybody, but ESPN pundit Craig Burley is not having the criticism.

Kane, 24, scored twice for Tottenham as they beat Liverpool at the weekend, and is currently the Champions League joint top scorer with Cristiano Ronaldo, netting five goals in three games.

Another pair of high profile games await, with Spurs visiting Manchester United and then hosting Real Madrid at Wembley.

If he scores in wins against both of those teams, it will surely be impossible for even his biggest doubters to have anything critical to say about him.

There may be hype surrounding Kane – but it is fully justified.
