In the 2020-2021 season, Harry Kane stunned the premier league by winning the Golden Boot as well as the Playmaker awards with the highest number of assists. This feat had earlier been recorded by Thierry Henry and Alan Shearer.

The England captain have now been valued at £100 million by the Citizens board who have just lost their veteran striker, Kun Aguero to Barcelona.
