Tottenham's Kane going after third straight Player of the Month award

Harry Kane is chasing a third-straight Barclays Premier League Player of the Month award.

The Tottenham striker, who landed the January and February gongs, has been nominated for the March award after another sparkling month of goalscoring form in England's top flight.

Kane will go up against Arsenal pair Olivier Giroud and Francis Coquelin, Aston Villa forward Gabby Agbonlahor, Liverpool star Jordan Henderson and Manchester United midfielder Marouane Fellaini.

The 21-year old, who made his England debut and first start on Friday and Tuesday respectively, netted five goals in four league outings in March which included his first Premier League hat-trick in the 4-3 win over Leicester City.

The most likely to oust Kane for the award is in-form Gunners striker Giroud who also scored five times in four matches, tallying in all of his outings during March.

The winner of the award for the third month of 2015 will be announced on Sky Sports on Friday morning.
