Harry Kane sounds like a gangster from a Guy Ritchie movie, but he is actually Spurs' latest young star to have been tipped for great things. Whilst he is not yet a household name amongst football fans, that could well change in the next few years. The 17 year old is regarded as one of the club's top academy prospects, on Kane's biography on the official Spurs' website it says,

“Playing just behind a central striker, Harry made a huge impact during his first full season in our Academy, establishing himself as one of the most highly-rated young players at the club.”

Harry Kane is a product of the Spurs' youth system and in the 2008-09 season played in the Under-16's side that competed in the Copa Chivas and Bellinzona tournaments in Mexico, scoring three goals.

In the 2009/10 season Kane played 22 times for Tottenham's Under-18's, scoring an impressive 18 goals, he was also named on the first team bench for two matches last season, which is no mean feat for a 17 year old in what is a strong Spurs' squad. Kane's good form for Tottenham did not go unnoticed, and he made his international debut for England Under-17's during the campaign. So far he has made three appearances for England Under-17's, scoring two goals in the process. Upon his call up to England, Spurs' Under-18 coach Alex Inglethorpe stated on the club's website that,

“It's fantastic for the academy and Harry that he's been recognised in this way. He's a lovely lad, a terrific young player with a great work ethic and one who will keep on improving.”

Kane is also renowned as something of a dead ball specialist, scoring two free kicks in one game for the Under-17's against Watford last season. With set-pieces becoming an increasingly important part of the game, this will stand Kane in good stead to make an impact as he steps up to the next level.

Goals are the currency of football and any player who can score a lot of them will always be in high demand. Harry Kane's youth career has so far yielded a good number of goals, and this is what has made him really stand out in the Spurs' academy. Kane is amongst some other highly rated young prospects at Tottenham, with Dean Parrett and John Bostock the most notable of these. These players add to the already large stock of exciting young English players Spurs' have on their books, including Danny Rose, Kyle Walker and Kyle Naughton to name just a few, whilst Aaron Lennon and Tom Huddlestone are still only 23.

Harry Kane may not be a name known by many outside Tottenham Hotspur, but if he can continue the excellent form he has showed in his fledgling career to date his reputation is sure to grow. Goalscoring will never fail to get a player noticed, and Spurs' and England fans will be hoping he is just as lethal as his career progresses.
