Tottenham star Kane named England Men’s Player of the Year

England striker Harry Kane has been named the England's men football player of the year for 2017, as voted by the England's supporters club.

Kane enjoyed 75% of the vote after a stellar 2017, netting 56 goals for Spurs and England in total - more than Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

The 24 year-old commented: "It's always special to represent your country so to be voted as England's best player of 2017 from such a talented squad is a real honour after what was a memorable year for me personally.

"To play your part in reaching the finals of a World Cup is every young footballer's dream and I'd like to thank all my international teammates for the part they played in that journey.

"However, I'd especially like to thank the Three Lions' fans for their fantastic support both at Wembley and across Europe. Now here's to an exciting summer in Russia".
