Harry Kane notched his 200th goal for Tottenham Hotspur in their Europa League clash against Ludogorets on Thursday.The 27-year-old brought up the double century by heading home a Lucas Moura corner in the 13th minute.Kane scored his 1st Spurs goal against Shamrock Rovers nine years ago, so it’s fitting that his 200th came in the same competition.He was also making his 300th appearance for the Lilywhites. Celebrations all round, then.
It means the England international boasts a remarkable record of 0.67 goals per game for his club.He’d like to add a trophy sooner rather than later, but he’s already cemented his status as a club legend.The fear for Spurs is Kane believing that his best chances of silverware lie away from north London. The Europa League presents a great opportunity for the club to end their drought, though.Jose Mourinho knows what it takes to win it, after all.
And with Kane contributing goals and assists - he turned provider for Lucas later on in the first half - they stand a good chance of prevailing in the competition.
Can Kane become Spurs' record goalscorer?
So, how many goals does Kane need to become Spurs’ all-time leading goalscorer?
He’s got Jimmy Greaves’ record tally of 266 goals in his sights now.
Kane sits third on the all-time list, eight shy of Bobby Smith and 66 behind club icon Greaves.
Here’s how the top 10 looks.
1. Jimmy Greaves | 266 goals
2. Bobby Smith | 208 goals
3. Harry Kane | 200 goals
4. Martin Chivers | 174 goals
5. Cliff Jones | 159 goals
6. Jermain Defoe | 143 goals
7. George Hunt | 138 goals
8. Len Duquemin | 134 goals
9. Alan Gilzean | 133 goals
10. Teddy Sheringham | 124 goals
At his current rate of 0.67 goals per game, Kane will need 100 more matches to reach 267 goals for the club and became their outright leading scorer.
It’s well within reach if he stays in north London.
