Harry Kane wins European Golden Shoe for second time

English striker Harry Kane has been named Europe’s best goalscorer, receiving the UEFA Golden Shoe for the second time. The award, presented at the annual UEFA awards ceremony in Berlin, recognises the player who has scored the most goals in European domestic leagues over the past season.

Kane finished the campaign with 27 league goals, a tally that matched the record for the most goals in a single Premier League season and surpassed the previous year’s champion. The accolade follows his earlier Golden Shoe win in 2020, making him the first Englishman to claim the title twice. UEFA highlighted his consistency and impact in the Premier League, noting that his goals were pivotal in Tottenham Hotspur’s push for a top‑four finish.

The award underscores Kane’s standing among Europe’s elite forwards and cements his reputation as one of the most prolific goal‑scorers in modern football. Tottenham’s manager praised his dedication, while the player himself expressed gratitude for the recognition and vowed to continue contributing to both club and country.
