Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane has vowed to surpass the records of Cristiano Ronaldo and Dennis Bergkamp and Robbie Fowler by winning the Player of the Month award for a record third time in succession.
The 21-years old striker was on Friday named the EPL player of the month alongside Stoke City manager, Tony Pulis, who won the manager's edition for the Month.
Kane scored some crucial goals against top teams this season which helped him to equal the records by former premiership legends- he sunk Arsenal with his 2-goals, he scored 2 also against Chelsea and just last weekend, he was the phenomenon against Queens Park Rangers giving him 26 goals in all competitions for the season.
Arsenal's Bergkamp, Manchester United's Ronaldo and Liverpool's Fowler all won it twice in a row without managing a hat-trick.
"To make history would be something very special," he told Sky Sports News. "Obviously I've scored a couple so far this month, so hopefully I'll get a few more goals and we'll see what happens."
Later this month Kane is also hoping to earn a first call-up for England, who play Lithuania in a European Championship qualifier on March 27.
"He works very hard in training, his potential is massive and he can improve more," Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino said.
Pochettino was speaking ahead of Sunday's away game against Manchester United, which could have a crucial bearing on who qualifies for next season's Champions League.
United are fourth, three points ahead of sixth-placed Tottenham.
"We believe we can win," the Argentine said. "You never think before a game that it is possible to lose. You are always focusing on getting the three points and are never thinking about losing.
"Maybe Manchester United has history, but our mentality is to compete and try to win the game.
