WOLVERHAMPTON, United Kingdom — Tottenham
striker
Harry Kane is welcoming the challenge he faces to win the Golden Boot
next season from the arrival of Erling Haaland and Darwin Nunez to the Premier
League.

Norwegian superstar Haaland completed his move to
Manchester City on Monday, while Uruguayan international Nunez is expected to
finalise a move to Liverpool from Benfica in the coming days for a fee that
could rise to 100 million euros ($105 million).
Kane was keen for a move to City himself last
summer, but now looks committed to another season at Spurs after they secured a
return to the Champions League.
“Every season I’ve been playing it’s always been a
tough battle to win that golden boot,” said Kane, who has won the award for the
Premier League’s top goal scorer three times.
“You expect the top strikers to want to play in the
Premier League. With those two new signings, that’s going to be the case.
Last season, his Tottenham strike partner Son
Heung-min shared the award with Liverpool’s
Mo Salah, with both scoring 23
goals.
“It helps me as a player to have good competition,
it drives me to improve. I look forward to the challenge,” said Kane
Kane is just three goals off
Wayne Rooney’s
goal-scoring record of 53 for England and reaching his half-century against
Germany last week.
However, Kane’s penalty in a 1–1 draw in Munich is
the only goal the Three Lions have scored in a winless start to their Nations
League campaign after three games.
Gareth Southgate has voiced his concern over his
side’s reliance on Kane and Raheem Sterling for goals with the World Cup in
Qatar just five months away.
And Kane urged his teammates to show more hunger to
get on the score sheet.
“In any top team, you’re going to probably have a
main striker that gets the majority of the goals, a main attacking winger who
is going to get some goals,” he added.
“I’m sure every lad that puts on an
England shirt
wants to score and get assists and affect the game.
“The most important thing is the mentality of having that
hunger to go and get those goals.”
