Man of the moment Harry Kane set to continue fine form at Turf Moor

Tottenham striker Harry Kane is one of the Premier League’s most consistent performers, and this season he has already proved why he is arguably the best striker in world football. 

We all know what a lethal striker he is, his unerring ability to find the back of the net never ceases to amaze and with already five goals to show for his five appearances in the top-flight this time out, his chances of winning the Golden Boot at the end of the campaign already look strong. 

Kane is currently second-favourite in the Premier League top scorer betting (4/1), behind Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah, with his latest goal coming in Spurs’ dramatic 3-3 draw with West Ham last weekend. It was his 148th Premier League goal, and closes the ever-shortening gap between himself and the division’s all-time record goalscorer, Alan Shearer, who netted 112 more than him during his career.

While that deficit will be a tall order to overturn, Kane, who it’s easy to forget is still only 27 and has plenty of years left at the very top, is heading in the right direction to etch his name into the goalscorers Hall of Fame. 

He will be eager to continue his fine form on Monday evening against a side who he has a solid record against (7 goals in 8 apps). Spurs travel to Burnley looking to bounce back from the late disasterclass against West Ham last Sunday, and are firm favourites to do so at 8/13 in the Premier League betting.  

The England captain is, unsurprisingly, favourite in the goalscorer markets, priced at 10/3 to open the scoring at Turf Moor with bet365, while he is a 10/11 shot to score anytime in Lancashire, and 11/4 to score last. You can get odds of 4/1 for him to make the net bulge twice against Sean Dyche’s side, who sit winless in the relegation zone after four matches (Paddy Power).

Kane has so far registered a mammoth 13 shots on target in 20/21 (avg. 2.6 per game) - more than any other player in the top-flight - so it is again no surprise to see his odds to register two or more SOT against Burnley so short (1/12 for 1+ and 8/15 for 2+). 

Indeed, where the value could lie is in the ‘to assist a goal’ market. Kane has always been a formidable goalscorer, but this season where he has really impressed is how often he has turned provider.

With seven assists in five outings, the 27-year-old leads the way by three in the assists table, and his relationship with Son Heung-min has blossomed into more of a two-way partnership rather than Kane just finalising the hard work Son had put in beforehand.

Last weekend Kane set up his South Korean counterpart inside 45 seconds to land a 5/1 tip for us before the first minute had even been registered on the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium scoreboard. This Monday, Kane is a slightly shorter 3/1 to bag an anytime assist, but that price does still represent solid value to me given his recent performances. 

I’ll be having a little play on this one; reckon he can land us a winner before 45 seconds this time?
