Tottenham Hotspur’s Harry Kane and Romelu Lukaku of Manchester United will be fighting for the Premier League Golden Boot this season.

Jamie Redknapp predicted on Sky Bet’s Facebook live (5:50pm, August 7, 2017) that Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane will become the top scorer in the Premier League this season.

Kane is one of the best strikers in the world and has been in stunning form for North London club Tottenham for the past three seasons.

Harry Kane of Tottenham celebrates scoring to make it 1-0 during the pre-season match between Tottenham Hotspur and Juventus at Wembley Stadium on August 5, 2017 in London, England.

The 24-year-old was the top scorer in the Premier League last season with 29 goals and won the Golden Boot in 2015-16 as well with 25 strikes.

Former Liverpool and Tottenham midfielder Redknapp has predicted the 24-year-old England international to win the Golden Boot again this season, backing the Spurs star to come ahead of Romelu Lukaku.

Lukaku, who scored 25 goals in the Premier League for Everton during the 2016-17 campaign, has joined Manchester United in the summer transfer window.

Romelu Lukaku #9 of Manchester United gives a thumbs up to his teammate against Manchester City at NRG Stadium on July 20, 2017 in Houston, Texas.

“I would just edge towards Harry Kane,” said Redknapp on Sky Bet’s Facebook live (5:50pm, August 7, 2017) regarding the winner of the Golden Boot this season.

“What Lukaku does is he is a flat-track bully. He scores threes and fours, and he will do that at home.

“No disrespect to Brighton, Huddersfield, teams like that, and he will go hat-trick, that’s what he does really well.”

Both Tottenham and Manchester United will be aiming to win the Premier League title this season, and Kane and Lukaku will have a massive say in the title race.
