Tottenham striker Harry Kane has revealed just how much he has had to sacrifice to surpass Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo's goalscoring exploits this year.
The 24-year-old England international netted a remarkable 56 times for club and country in 2017, ensuring he ended the year as top scorer in Europe, two ahead of Messi.
And Kane, who is currently preparing for Tottenham's clash with Everton on Saturday, admits he is 'proud' to have beaten the world's two best players to the 2017 goalscoring crown.
'They've been such good players over the last ten years or so, and dominated football and rightly so,' Kane told ESPN of Messi and Ronaldo.
