In the final round, Tottenham play Hull City while Lukaku's Everton take on Arsenal. Striker Alexis Sanchez is also one of the candidates for the Golden Boot award, having scored 23 goals for Arsenal.

Kane, 24, has proven he is not a one-season striker. In three consecutive seasons, the English striker has contributed greatly to Tottenham's success.

Last season, Kane won the Golden Boot award with 25 goals. And this season, he became the fifth player in Premier League history to score at least 25 goals in two consecutive seasons.

In terms of performance, Kane is even more formidable this season. He has scored 26 goals in just 29 appearances. Last season, Kane played all 38 matches.
