“Football Was a Funny Old Game” is something past Tottenham legend Jimmy Greaves often said and that saying could be back in-play this Sunday as Harry Kane, fresh from missing ‘that penalty’ for England, is on the verge of smashing two goalscoring records – and who better to do it against than Arsenal.
Harry Kane Sits On 198 Premier League Goals
The Tottenham striker scored his first league goal for the club back in the 2012/13 season, but Harry Kane gone onto net another 197 times for Spurs and now needs just two more strikes to hit the landmark 200 Premier League goals.
Kane, with 198 goals, is third in the all-time Premier League goals list, with Wayne Rooney (208) and Alan Shearer (260) the players ahead of him. You feel that it won’t be long before he’s overhauling Rooney to take silver – however, it might be a few more seasons before Shearer’s top spot is under threat.
Two goals against Crystal Palace in Tottenham’s last Premier League game (5th January) was enough to give him a great chance of breaking through the 200 mark against bitter rivals Arsenal.
You can back Kane to score anytime against Arsenal @ 11/8 with Bet365 or @ 15/2 to grab two goals against the Gunners.
Harry Kane Premier League Stats

Goals: 198
Assists: 44
Golden Boots: 3

Kane Is Also Just One Goal Away From Equalling Jimmy Greaves’ Club Record
Since his two goals against Palace, Spurs have since played Portsmouth in the FA Cup – winning 1-0 – and you guessed it, Kane was the man on the scoresheet again.
And that strike has moved him closer to another milestone – this time Jimmy Greaves’ all-time Spurs scoring record which stands at 266 – Kane is just one back now.
However, there is still some debate though as Greaves got 2 Charity Shield goal in 1962, so many feel his tally is actually 268 – meaning Kane would need four goals to really put the matter out of doubt.

The England man has bagged a remarkable 14 goals in the last 16 league games against Arsenal.
