Tottenham star Harry Kane is the most complete striker in the Premier League but I'm backing Manchester United's Romelu Lukaku for the golden boot

Harry Kane is the most complete forward in the Premier League right now. In terms of all-round brilliance, he is second to none.

Look at his goals against West Ham. He scored a superb glancing header before effortlessly stroking in a cool finish — and could have had a hat-trick had his 25-yard free-kick not struck the post.

Kane has it all. If Tottenham want to go direct, he is perfect at leading the line. If they play it to feet, Kane will bring his team-mates into play. He is hungry to score but is always looking to create chances, too.

Romelu Lukaku looks most likely to win the golden boot while Alvaro Morata has surprised

The Premier League is blessed with ambitious, ruthless forwards in Kane, Alvaro Morata, Sergio Aguero and Romelu Lukaku.

I thought that Chelsea replacing Diego Costa with Morata would be one of the biggest gambles of the season. Morata may not have the same subtle touches as Kane in his game but he is confounding all his doubters. 

Having already shown his remarkable heading ability, against Stoke he demonstrated blistering pace and clinical finishing. I read that Antonio Conte thinks Morata is the sort of player he would be happy for his daughter to marry. I can't imagine him saying the same about Costa! 

Conte will be able to get the best from Morata without having to deal with the dressing-room distractions Costa might have caused.

Aguero has a renewed hunger and is looking sharper than ever. He is explosive over five yards and is the Premier League's best out-and-out finisher since Robbie Fowler.

But for me, Lukaku looks the most likely to be crowned as top scorer come May. In fact, he should have won it last year at Everton. Until Kane's end-of-season blitz, he was leading the way.

While he could use his natural body strength better, Lukaku is so difficult to match stride for stride over long distances. He is central to this exciting, creative Manchester United team. With the abundance of chances served up for him, Lukaku should score even more.

So while Kane comes out on top in my assessment of the Fab Four forwards' attributes, I think Lukaku will pip him to the Golden Boot this season.

We need an award for most assists

With the super strikers on fire, it is easy to overlook the creative geniuses who fuel these front men.

Christian Eriksen is the most under-rated player in the Premier League. He makes Harry Kane and Dele Alli tick with phenomenal service — just look at his sublime ball to free Alli in the build-up to Tottenham's first goal against West Ham.

It's easy to see why Eriksen does not get the same attention as Spurs' other stars. He does not court the limelight — he almost needs a tattoo or a silly haircut to make him stand out!

Eriksen, David Silva for Manchester City and Liverpool's Philippe Coutinho all dazzled this weekend. They were instrumental in setting up stunning goals for their sides and I wish there were more English players who possessed the same technical ability.

I'd love to see a trophy awarded to the player who gets the most assists. Passes like Alli's to set up Kane at West Ham, or Kevin De Bruyne's to Sergio Aguero against Watford were sensational. 

Watching a player thread a pass through the eye of a needle is one of the most beautiful parts of the game and that should be recognised.

Coutinho getting closer to my free-kick crown!  

While finding out how many free-kicks Philippe Coutinho had scored for Liverpool after his stunner against Leicester, I was astonished to learn that I am still Anfield's Premier League free-kick king.

I scored eight free-kicks in the league during my time at Liverpool, one more than Steven Gerrard. I reckon I could have reached double figures had Robbie Fowler not kept taking them off me!

After his latest effort, Coutinho is catching up quickly. Maybe he should have gone to Barcelona after all...

As far as cameos go, Oumar Niasse's double from the bench for Everton will have been Oscar-worthy in the eyes of Ronald Koeman.

Do not underestimate how important Niasse's match-winning turn was for Everton's manager. Had they lost to Bournemouth, Koeman would have been under severe pressure.

I don't think Niasse is the long-term solution to Everton's striking problems by any stretch — but his heroics have granted Koeman a reprieve.
