Tottenham's all time top scorers as Harry Kane closes in on leaders

Tottenham striker Harry Kane added to his goalscoring tally in the London derby vs West Ham United.

The England captain put Spurs 3-0 up against the Hammers in new manager Jose Mourinho's first match in charge after taking over from the outgoing Mauricio Pochettino during the international break.

Tottenham went into half time two goals to the good after strikes from Son Heung-min and Lucas Moura, before Kane struck after the break to put Mourinho's men in complete control of the match.

The goal was Kane's 11th strike of the season in all competitions and put the stand in Tottenham captain to within touching distance of breaking a club record.

The striker has now scored 175 goals for Tottenham, putting him above Martin Chivers and into third place in the all time top goal scorers in Spurs history.

Kane needs 33 more goals to equal Bobby Smith's total of 208, while 91 more will put him level with legendary striker Jimmy Greaves on 266 goals.

Given that Kane is still only 26-years-old and at his current rate, it would be no surprise if he is sitting at the top of the charts by the time he leaves the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
