Tottenham news: Spurs receive key Harry Kane transfer boost amid record-equalling goal vs Fulham

Here's your morning Tottenham digest on Tuesday, January 24

Kane equals record

Harry Kane has become the joint-top Tottenham Hotspur goalscorer of all time. Kane's goal in the London derby against Fulham has taken him level with Spurs legend Jimmy Greaves to make history.

Kane went into the match against Fulham just one goal shy of equalliing the record, knowing two goals against their London rivals would see him overtake Greaves' record of 266 goals.

The 29-year-old has been at Spurs since he was a youngster in the academy, experiencing loan spells with Leyton Orient, Millwall, Norwich and Leicester before establishing himself as a first team regular.

Kane equalled Wayne Rooney's record and became England's all-time joint-top goalscorer during the World Cup in Qatar and now makes history with the Lilywhites.

Kane boost

Despite rumours of a transfer to Manchester United, Harry Kane's aim is to succeed at Tottenham Hotspur, football.london understands.

Kane has enjoyed yet another productive season in front of goal, netting 15 times in just 20 Premier League outings. However, his teammates haven't reached similar heights, with the usually lethal Son Heung-min scoring just four times in the league.

The Lilywhites' defence has also been sub-par to say the least, conceding 31 times already in the league, more than 14 of the teams in the English top-flight. Recent defeats to Arsenal and Manchester City have been followed by reports linking star striker Kane with a move away from N17 and Erik ten Hag's Manchester United have been mooted as a potential destination.

Things spotted vs Fulham

Meant to kick-off at 8pm at Craven Cottage, it wasn't until almost 8.20pm when the game finally commenced. Pushed back by 15 minutes due to issues on the London Underground network, referee Paul Tierney then had some problems with his technical equipment moments before proceedings were about to get underway, thus leading to a further delay for a couple more minutes.

Those inside the stadium where then almost treated to a shock opener from Eric Dier inside the first 60 seconds. Going into a challenge with his opponent, the England international, who was around the halfway mark, put his foot through the ball and it left Bernd Leno nervously backtracking to his line.
