'I want to win everything' - Harry Kane ready to hunt down Mo Salah in Golden Boot race

  /  autty

Harry Kane has insisted he is fully fit and has not given up hope of usurping Liverpool's Mo Salah to claim the Premier League Golden Boot for a third season in a row.

Kane has 27 Premier League goals this season, compared to Salah's 31, but Tottenham have three games left to play compared to Liverpool's two, while the Merseyside club may yet rest the Egyptian to save him for Champions League duties.

Kane returned swiftly from an ankle injury and some observers had questioned whether he returned too soon after a more sluggish period of recent form but the Tottenham captain insists he is in perfect shape. He scored Spurs' second goal in the 2-0 win over Watford on Monday night.

'The ankle is fine. The ankle is good,' Kane said. 'It was good to score and I had a couple of chances. I feel fine. I feel good. I am looking forward to the last three weeks.

'Two in my last two Premier League games is good. I probably could have scored a few more myself and as a team we probably could have been a bit more clinical in the final third today.

'Every striker in every country wants to win the Golden Boot. It is something I want to win. I want to win at everything I do, whether it's the Golden Boot or every game. Even if it is just playing a game with my mates - I want to win that. I am not afraid to say so.

'The most important thing is qualifying for the Champions League. Hopefully we can secure that and go from there.'

Tottenham's victory lifts the club five points clear of Chelsea with three games remaining, strengthening their chances of Champions League football next season. Kane was particularly keen to strike back after Tottenham lost the FA Cup semi-final to Manchester United last week.

Kane added: 'I hate to lose, the team hates to lose. We went through three games in all competitions in which we did not win and we wanted to put that right. It is frustrating, we could do better and when you don't play well you want to play against straight away. We have had to wait nine days because it was a Monday night.

'That showed a bit, we were a bit slow, especially in the first half. Thanks to goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, we went in at half-time ahead and got the goal early in the second half to kill the game.

'But it is important we got the win. The pressure was on a bit and now we have got a little gap with three games left. We could have played better as a team but the most important thing is the three points.'
