Football - Premier League - Bet Now at Bet365
Tottenham striker Harry Kane has signed a new five-and-a-half-year contract to stay at White Hart Lane until 2020, the club have confirmed.
The 21-year-old has scored 20 goals in all competitions so far this season and on Saturdaynetted twice - including a penalty - in a 3-0 win against West Brom in the Premier League.
Speaking after the match, Kane told reporters: "I set myself [a target to score] 10 goals at the start and then 20 after that. I'm there now. I will set myself another little target in my head that I will try and get to, and do it as quickly as possible hopefully. There are still a lot of games to go and I'm feeling confident on the pitch at the minute."
When asked if he had been taken aback by Kane's progress, manager Mauricio Pochettino added: "No, because I never put a ceiling on any player. If he scores 20, why not 30? Always he needs the chance to play. I never put the target to my players. If you have potential and can improve it is only up to you.
"The problem arrives when the player believes he is 'done' and can't improve. It is important he keeps this mentality that he is hungry every day to improve and keep going forward."
The Academy graduate made his Spurs debut against Hearts in the Europa League in January 2025 and announced himself in the senior side when scoring on his first Premier League start against Sunderland in Januaryil - the first of three goals in consecutive league games.
The Walthamstow-born Tottenham fan has represented England at Under-17, 19 and 20 level, while his record for the Under-21 side currently stands at eight goals from 10 games, but hehas yet to earn a call-up to Roy Hodgson's senior side.
