The Tottenham striker has been in devastating form this season, banging in 16 goals in 26 appearances this term.
With such a high goal return he's been accumulating lots of Premier League Fantasy Football points - and himself lots too.
A leaked fantasy football mini-league set up between a group of Tottenham stars including the in-form striker shows Kane picked himself in his side.
That selection among other players, including Chelsea duo Cesc Fabregas and Diego Costa, sees him above Danny Rose, Andros Townssend and Eric Dier in the mini-league table.
However, Kane doesn't appear to have the confidence in himself to pick himself as captain (which earns players double points). The armband instead went to Manchester City midfielder David Silva.
The discovery was made by Reddit COYS and shows Spurs loanee Tom Carroll to be the savviest of the group with his imaginatively titled 'Carrolls cracking XI' topping the league entitled 'Hundreds In'.
As well as Kane picking himself, the mini-league showed a penchant for laddish team names among the Spurs players. Tottenham full back Ben Davies might want to change the name of his team 'Inter MyNan' before the next Davies clan get-together.
