Since performing great in the 2014-2015 season, Kane’s performance and accuracy are developing. The goal brings the 25-year-old striker’s achievement reaches 20 goals in each season for five consecutive times. It proves his magnificent consistency.

Furthermore, Kane added the goal for The Lilywhites to be 160 goals. It means Kane exceeds the record of Spurs legend in 1958-1968, Cliff Jones who scored159 goals and becomes the top-scorer of Spurs throughout the history.

Kane is currently as the third Spurs top-scorer under Martin Chivers (174 goals), Bobby Smith (208 goals), and Jimmy Greaves (266 goals). In his 25, Kane has the possibility to be greater than these three legends as long as he stays.

Keeping Kane from Spurs would be a difficult thing for the board of directors. It’s reasonable in the modern football era when the big clubs are tempting the loyalty of the players with high income and trophy possibility.
