England star and Tottenham Hotspur FC striker-in-chief Harry Kane has taken one more step toward establishing himself as one of the club’s best-ever players after the 29-year-old London native climbed within one goal of the club’s all-time goalscoring record.
Kane was on target during Spurs’ FA Cup third-round clash with EFL League One outfit Portsmouth at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium earlier today, scoring the only goal during the 1-0 win that sees Antonio Conte’s outfit advance to the next stage of England’s premier cup competition during what has been a season of overall frustration.
Harry Kane has now scored 265 goals for Tottenham Hotspur. He only needs 1 more to match Jimmy Greaves’ all time goal scoring record for Tottenham.

🥈 HARRY KANE – 265— Statman Dave (@StatmanDave) January 7, 2023
But for Kane, the 265th goal of his Tottenham career stands as a testament to his influence in north London since his debut season in 2013-14 before exploding for goals across eight consecutive seasons (not including the current campaign) that saw him score at least 24 goals or more in all competitions, including five Premier League seasons of 20-goals or more.
Now, just one goal away from pulling level with legendary figure Jimmy Greaves on 266 goals, Kane is guaranteed – baring complete catastrophe – to become the club’s record goal-getter and then some and has his first chance to achieve that feat next Sunday in the North London Derby against bitter rivals Arsenal.
As speculation surrounding his future at the club persists after Bayern Munich continue to suggest they may be keen on making a move for the English star in the summer with his contract set to expire after next season, there could be no better way than to leave a lasting personal legacy than this.
