England captain Harry Kane has bought the shirt sponsorship of League Two Leyton Orient's 2020/21 kit.

The Tottenham striker, who got his first taste of senior football on loan at Orient in 2011, has taken the sponsorship for Orient's three kits following approval from the Premier League, English Football League and Football Association.

Kane has decided to donate the sponsorship to three causes, with the home shirt donning a thank you message to the frontline heroes of the coronavirus pandemic, the away shirt showing Haven House Children's Hospice's logo and the third kit donated to mental health charity Mind.

Kane, who scored five goals in 18 games for Orient, said: "I was born and brought up only at a couple of miles from the stadium and I am really happy to have the opportunity to give back to the club that gave me my first professional start.

Premier League final day predictions

West Ham v Aston Villa. Villa's fate is sealed with defeat to West Ham meaning an immediate return to the Championship. A win for the Hammers means they stay up on goal difference. PREDICTION: West Ham 2, Aston Villa 0. Reuters

Southampton v Sheffield United. United lost the corresponding fixture at Bramall Lane 1-0 in September. Chris Wilder's side went on to enjoy a magnificent season though, securing a top-half finish. Few gave Southampton a chance of staying up after losing 9-1 to Leicester City but the Saints finish the season with a flourish to maintain their Premier League status. PREDICTION: Southampton 1, Sheffield United 0. Getty Images

Newcastle United v Liverpool. The Reds were streets ahead of the rest in 2019/20. Comparisons with great Liverpool sides of the 1980s will abound, but with a record points tally of 109 wins and only one defeat, Jurgen Klopp's side will have to go some way to top this campaign. PREDICTION: Newcastle 0, Liverpool 3. Getty Images

Manchester City v Norwich City. Teemu Pukki's winner at Carrow Road secured a famous victory over the defending champions in September. Sadly that was as good as it got for the Canaries, who keep up their record of relegation the season after being promoted. City's season was tame in comparison to the previous two seasons, but no team could have matched Liverpool's dominance of 2019/20. City must await the outcome of their appeal over a two-year Champions League ban for breaches of FFP to see if they can compete in next season's competition. PREDICTION: Manchester City 4, Norwich 0.

Leicester City v Manchester United. United clicked into gear following a defeat to Burnley in early January, and were hitting their straps going into the business end. A late season rally sees them pip Chelsea to fourth place. PREDICTION: Leicester 2, Manchester United 0. AFP

Everton v Bournemouth. Under Carlo Ancelotti's guidance Everton secure a top-10 finish with victory over Bournemouth on the final day. Defeat sees Eddie Howe's side relegated on goal difference, bringing an end to their five year stay in the top flight. PREDICTION: Everton 2, Bournemouth 1. PA

Crystal Palace v Tottenham Hotspur. Champions League finalists last season, it was a season of turmoil at Tottenham. Mauricio Pochettino, the popular Argentine, was replaced by Jose Mourinho at the back end of 2019 following a run of poor results. The 'Special One' failed in his assignment to take the club back into the Champions League, finishing seventh. PREDICTION: Crystal Palace 1, Tottenham 1. Getty Images

Chelsea v Wolves. Tammy Abraham netted a spectacular hat-trick in Chelsea's win in the corresponding fixture at Molineux. There would be heartache for Frank Lampard's side though as a defeat on the final day to Wolves sees them miss out on a top-four finish. PREDICTION: Chelsea 0, Wolves 1. Reuters

Burnley v Brighton. Another season of toil for Brighton but manager Graham Potter enhanced his reputation by keeping the Seagulls up a third successive season. Burnley finish a comfortable 12th under Sean Dyche. PREDICTION: Burnley 1, Brighton 1. Reuters.

Arsenal v Watford. Watford, who didn't win their first match until victory at Norwich on November 9, looked dead and buried when Nigel Pearson became their third manager of the campaign in December. The Hornets became the first team to inflict defeat on runaway leaders Liverpool as they secured another season in the Premier League. Their final day opponents, Arsenal, will take some comfort in finishing above North London rivals Tottenham. PREDICTION: Arsenal 2, Watford 0. Getty Images
