After 19 years at the club and 10 seasons as a part of the first team, Kane has become the club’s all-time top scorer with 280 goals in 435 appearances in all competitions.

The 30-year-old forward leaves Tottenham after being the club’s top scorer in nine of his 10 active seasons at the club and having surely cemented his place in the club’s history books.

Most Premier League goals for a single club

Being so prolific in front of goal and representing only the London club in the Premier League era has allowed Kane to reach a unique perch in the league’s history.

Thanks to his 213 goals for Tottenham, Kane is the player with the most goals for a single club in the Premier League era, eclipsing Sergio Aguero, who scored 185 goals for Manchester City, and Wayne Rooney, who scored 184 goals for Manchester United.

Most Premier League goals in a calendar year

The year was sandwiched between the 2016/17 and 2017/18 seasons, where Kane scored 29 and 30 goals, respectively, winning the Golden Boot in the former.

Most matches scored in during one season

During the 2022/23 season, Kane hit 30 Premier League goals in one season for the second time in his career, and although he failed to win the Golden Boot in either of the seasons where he reached his highest tally, he still managed to break a record last season.

He scored in 26 of the 38 games he played, matching Andy Cole’s record from the 1993/94 season, although the former Manchester United forward reached the tally in the 22-team Premier League season.

Most assists in a single Premier League match

Eight players currently hold the joint record for the most assists in a Premier League match, including Kane, who provided four assists in Tottenham’s 5-2 win over Southampton in the 2020/21 season.

The England international’s assist record is special because, of all the instances in which a player has provided four assists, Kane’s four assists against Southampton was the only time that all four assists went to the same player, as Son Heung-Min was on the end of all four assists on that day.
