England captain Harry Kane, who scored 213 goals in 320 Premier League appearances for Tottenham Hotspur, is the subject of a new analysis by BBC chief football writer Phil McNulty examining what his latest contract means for both the national team and the league's all-time scoring charts.
The article, published on November 5, 2026, explores how Kane's current trajectory could see him challenge Alan Shearer's Premier League record of 260 goals, while also assessing his role as England's captain and all-time leading scorer heading into future international tournaments.
Kane's move to Bayern Munich in 2023 took him out of the Premier League, but his existing tally leaves him within striking distance of the record should he ever return to English football. Meanwhile, his international form continues to bolster England's attacking options under current management.
