It means Kane, 28, has two new challengers for the Premier League Golden Boot, an accolade he has won three times already.

Both Haaland and Nunez bring mean goal records, but England skipper Kane is relishing the competition.

Speaking ahead of the Three Lions’ game against Hungary tomorrow, Kane was quizzed on his thoughts on Haaland and Nunez and the competition they will bring to the Golden Boot race.

The striker said: “I think the battle for the Golden Boot is always tough. The Premier League has produced some top strikers around the world for a number of years now.

“Every season I’ve been playing it’s always been a tough battle to win that Golden Boot and it’s no different.

“You expect the top strikers to want to play in the Premier League and like you say with those two new signings that’s going to be the case.

“I think it helps me as a player to have good competition, it drives me as to improve and get better.

“So for sure yeah I look forward to the challenge.”

Haaland netted 29 goals in 30 appearances in the most recent campaign, while Nunez bagged 34 times in 41 games.

Kane himself struck 27 goals in 50 games in all competitions, despite struggling at times in front of goal.

The forward only netted once in the Premier League before December 5.

But the Tottenham talisman is hoping the added competition next season will spur him on to a fourth Golden Boot, which would equal Thierry Henry’s record.
