Part 4: World Cup in Russia gives glimpse into next generation of Balon D'Or hopefuls

Making the last entry of the Balon D'Or hopefuls Harry Kane has been one of the stories of world football considering that just four years ago he made just a total of 15 appearances for Spurs while scoring just three goals. Before that he had spent loan spells at various football teams in the lower tiers of English football.

That's all in the past now as Kane's fortunes have experienced an upswing with him netting 20 plus goals in Spurs colours for the past four seasons and by the projected estimates he could one day go on to eclipse even Alan Shearer as the greatest goal scorer in English football.

Heading into the world cup the England captain, at just 24, scored a total of 37 goals for Spurs by the end of 2017/18 season and he's already making his mark on the world game.

Kane is currently sitting pretty at the top of the goal scorer rankings with six goals in his first appearance at a World Cup finals. Added to that his England team should be favourites to at least make it to the semi-finals or at best go on to win the whole thing with the way things are currently unfolding in Russia.

Even if a world cup medal is not in Kane's immediate future he has the look of a player who could became the greatest forward the game has ever seen with his ability to score goals with either foot, his head and different kinds of goals.
