Tottenham Hotspur forward, Harry Kane is a goal-scoring wizard. He’s currently in the race with Mohamed Salah of Liverpool to win the Premier League’s Golden Boot award. Kane won the award in both 2017 with 29 goals and in 2016 with 25 goals. He’s expecting to score a hat-trick by winning the award for the third year in a row, however, his dreams may be squashed by Salah. The Reds player has 31 goals so far while Kane has 27. With the Premier League season coming to an end, Kane has little time to surpass Salah. Nonetheless, he’s a man whose existence is defined by his stellar ability to score goals, so there’s still hope yet. Even if he doesn’t receive the award this year, Kane still stands as one of the best players in the league, one of the top-scorers in Europe and one of the most expensive players in the world. Let’s find out how much the Englishman is worth today!
Harry Kane Net Worth 2018: $49 million
Harry Kane obviously has a golden shot. After all, he is a two-time winner of the Golden Boot award. As of 2018, his net worth is estimated to be around $49 million. He currently earns £100,000 weekly for the Spurs.
Early Days
Born on July 28, 1993, in Walthamstow, England, Kane expressed his love for soccer at an early age. He started out in the youth ranks. In 2001, he played for the Arsenal youth academy and then went on to play for Waterford and Tottenham. In the 2009/2010 season for the under-18 Tottenham club, Kane scored 18 goals in 22 matches. Following this, on a loan, he moved to Leyton Orient FC. After a year, he loaned out to Millwall.
Professional Debut
Kane effortlessly transitioned into the pro league. On August 25, 2011, he made his first appearance with Tottenham during the second leg of their UEFA Europa League qualification round against Hearts FC. Following this, a year later in August 2012, he saw time in a pre-season game against Southend United. He scored a hat trick, helping the Spurs secure a 6-0 win. Then on August 18 of the same year, he made his Premier League debut with the club. Later in the year, on a loan, he switched to Norwich City and then again on a loan, played 13 matches with Leicester City. Finally, on May 14, 2013, Kane returned to the Spurs for good.
His Shining Year
Kane’s 2014/2015 season was when he started to get a copious amount of well-deserved recognition. In February 2015, the then 21-year-old won the Premier League Player of the Month award. He scored his first Premier League hat-trick a month later in a 4-3 win against his former club, Leicester City. Shortly thereafter, he was named PFA Young Player of the Year after he racked up a staggering 31 goals. He obviously hasn’t let up with the goal-scoring since then.
Present Day
Kane has continued to wow us all. It was recently announced he made it on PFA’s League Team of the Year for attack, alongside Salah and Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero. This came as no surprise though because Kane has earned a spot on this coveted team every year since 2015. Last year, Kane became the top scorer not just in his country but in all of Europe, beating out soccer superstars Messi and Ronaldo. There are rumors that at this point, Kane has more transfer value than even Messi. At the ripe age of 24, Kane still has much to look forward to in his soccer career.
