Tottenham’s early Christmas present to fans is this footage of two Harry Kane youth team hat-tricks

He scores them at all age groups, it seems.

Harry Kane scores hat-tricks for fun these days, and it seems nothing has changed from his days in Tottenham’s youth teams.

After the England striker notched his seventh hat-trick of 2017 in a 3-0 win against Burnley, Spurs had a root around the archives and found footage of two Kane hat-tricks that many football fans probably haven’t seen before.

The movement and the finishes are exactly what we’ve come to expect from the 24-year-old in the Premier League.

The first came in 2010 during Spurs under-18s’ 8-1 win over Coventry City under-18s, while the second came during Spurs under-21s’ 6-3 win over Manchester City under-21s, back in 2013.

Over four years later, he hasn’t lost it.

His 2017 trios have come against West Brom, Fulham, Stoke, Leicester, Hull, Apoel Nicosia and Burnley.

Furthermore, Kane’s goalscoring exploits have drawn him level with Alan Shearer’s record of 36 Premier League goals in a calendar year, while his away goals record in the division is literally second to none.

Spurs have one more Premier League game this year, at home to Southampton on Boxing Day. Will Kane break the record against the Saints?
