Harry Kane: how many goals has Tottenham star scored? Premier League top scorers and Jimmy Greaves record

Harry Kane has reached yet another goalscoring milestone in his career after Tottenham Hotspur beat Fulham 1-0 on Monday 23 January. The England striker scored what would be the only goal of the match in the 46th minute and this goal would not just secure three points for Antonio Conte’s side but would also level Kane’s impressive goal tally for his club with another Spurs legend, Jimmy Greaves.

The 29-year-old now has 266 goals for Spurs across all competitions, including 199 in the Premier League, and has netted his record-equalling goals after 415 games. Kane’s 199th Premier League goal (and 266 goal for Spurs overall) also came on his 300th appearance for his club. England’s skipper had originally been rejected by Arsenal and Watford but now Sky Sports pundit and former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher believes “at the end of his career, he’ll go down as Tottenham’s greatest ever player.”

Former Spurs striker, Gary Lineker also lauded the England captain with praise, saying: “What an incredible achievement for Harry Kane to equal the great Jimmy Greaves as all-time top scorer fo Tottenham. And, yes, before you start, I know he’s not won anything. Also, that fact doesn’t make him any less of a footballer.”
