What new Kane deal means for England and the Premier League record

Shearer scored 260 goals in 441 Premier League matches for Blackburn Rovers and Newcastle United. Kane scored 213 times in 320 league games for Spurs.

With Kane still 47 short of Shearer's record, it would need a spectacular late-career flourish for him to eclipse the Geordie icon's tally to write another entry into the history books, which also have him as England's highest scorer with 91 goals from a record-equalling 125 caps.

What will be of huge interest to Thomas Tuchel - the coach who took him to Bayern and now leads England - is that Kane has delivered a clear indication that Euro 2028, to be played in the UK and Ireland, is firmly in his sights.
