Harry Edward Kane was born on 28 July 1993.

He is an English professional
footballer who plays as a striker for Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur and
captains the England national team. Regarded as one of the best strikers in the world, Kane is
known for his prolific goalscoring record and ability to link play.
Kane was born and raised in the London borough of Waltham Forest. He began his career at
Tottenham Hotspur, where, after fast progression through the team's youth academy, he was
promoted to the senior team in 2009, at age 16. He did not initially feature for the side and was
loaned out several times to clubs across the English football pyramid. Kane's involvement at
Tottenham began to increase following the arrival of Mauricio Pochettino as head coach in 2014.
In his first full season at the club, Kane scored 31 goals across all competitions, was the Premier
League's second-highest goalscorer, and was named PFA Young Player of the Year.
In the 2015–16, 2016–17 and 2020–21 seasons, Kane finished as the
league's top goalscorer. In the 2016–17 campaign, he helped Tottenham
finish as the competition's runners-up and won the PFA Fans' Player of
the Year award. Kane registered his best campaign statistically to date
in the 2017–18 season, with 41 goals scored in 48 games across all
competitions.
In the following season, he finished as a runner-up in the UEFA
Champions League.
In February 2021, he became Tottenham's second-highest all-time goalscorer in official
competitions.
Kane has scored 37 goals in 59 games for England. He appeared and scored at every youth level
and made a goalscoring debut with the senior team in March 2015, aged 21. Kane featured and
scored during England's successful UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying and represented the country at the
tournament itself. He was made the squad's captain from May 2018, before the 2018 FIFA World
Cup. In that tournament Kane led England to fourth place, their highest finish since
1990. He also finished as the World Cup's top goalscorer, winning the Golden Boot.
On 3 July 2021, after the victory against Ukraine at the Euro 2020, Kane said England
would be inspired by their 2018 World Cup semi-final loss as they could now look
ahead to another chance to move into the finale of an international tournament.
Kane is determined to help England learn from 2018 World Cup heartbreak ahead of Euro 2020
semi-final.
