10 records Harry Kane still holds at Tottenham Hotspur, they may never be broken
Let’s take a look at the extraordinary records Harry Kane still holds at Tottenham Hotspur, and whether anyone is ever likely to beat them.
Tottenham Hotspur may have moved into a new era under Thomas Frank, but Harry Kane’s time at the club is far from forgotten.
It’s been two years since the English striker made his emotional move to Bayern Munich, yet many of his numbers remain untouched, and quite frankly, untouchable.
Here are 10 records Kane still holds at Spurs, along with whether anyone is realistically on course to dethrone the king.
1. Harry Kane is Tottenham’s all-time top goal scorer – 280 goals
Kane’s 280 goals in all competitions is still miles ahead of the next closest contender. It took him 13 years and countless screamers to overtake Jimmy Greaves (266).
How likely is it to be broken one day? – 1/10
Heung-min Son is closest, but he’s 32 himself and still over 100 goals behind. It would take a striker joining Tottenham at a very young age, staying for a decade, and hitting huge numbers every year without fail.
2. Most goals in a calendar year – 56 (2017)
Yes, FIFTY-SIX in a single year. That 2017 Kane run was Messi-Ronaldo levels of madness.
How likely is it to be broken one day? – 1/10
A new striker would have to average nearly a goal a game across 12 months. That would need an insane run of form across all competitions. Only time will tell.
3. Most goals in North London Derby history – 14
Arsenal fans hated facing him for a reason. Kane bagged 14 goals in just 19 derbies. No surprise Spurs haven’t won one since he left.
How likely is it to be broken one day? – 3/10
No one looks likely. Son has eight, but again, age is not on his side. Once again, someone would have to start playing for Spurs at a young age and average a goal a game across seven years to even equal Kane. Or, god forbid, someone does an Emmanuel Adebayor and plays for both teams.
4. Harry Kane has the most Premier League hat-tricks in Tottenham history – 8
Kane loved a match ball. He bagged 8 of them during his time in North London.
How likely is it to be broken one day? – 4/10
It’s hard to see anyone come close to this, but it is far more achievable than some of the other records in Harry Kane’s back catalogue.
5. Most goals in a single Premier League season – 30 (twice)
He first scored 30 league goals in the 17/18 season. He then did it again in the 2022/23 campaign (when the club was in shambles). Kane still managed 30 Premier League goals.
How likely is it to be broken one day? 6/10
It’s not difficult to imagine a player going on a crazy run to break the 30 mark, even if it delves into one-season-wonder territory. We expect this record to tumble at some point in the next 10 years.
6. Most Premier League away goals – 112
Kane scored 112 Premier League away goals while at Spurs. As a matter of fact, this tally also stands as the highest by any player in Premier League history.
How likely is it to be broken one day? 2/10
No one currently playing for Spurs has even hit 100 total Premier League goals apart from Son, let alone away from home.
7. No one has more goals in European competitions for Tottenham than Harry Kane – 45
Tottenham featured in Europe every season during the Mauricio Pochettino era, and Kane made the most of it being the starting striker. Most impressively, the majority of his 45 goals came in the Champions League, against Europe’s best. No Spurs player has ever been more reliable under the lights.
How likely is it to be broken one day? 3/10
This one not only requires an incredible level of consistency and longevity, but it also requires Tottenham to keep qualifying for Europe every single season.
8. Most Premier League goals in a month – 8 (December 2017)
In December 2017, Kane smashed in eight goals in a single month, a record haul that included back-to-back hat-tricks against Burnley and Southampton and remains Spurs’ highest ever monthly total.
How likely is it to be broken one day? 7/10
A team typically plays five to six league matches in a busy December. To beat Kane’s eight, a player would need to average at least 1.3 goals per game, even in a maximum six-match festive schedule. It sounds difficult, but someone is bound to hit a crazy purple patch eventually.
9. First player in Spurs history with six straight 20+ goal league seasons
2015/16 to 2020/21. Kane was consistently brilliant. He was barely injured once or twice during those years.
How likely is it to be broken one day? 4/10
It would take years of consistency. Nobody in the current Tottenham squad is on that kind of trajectory.
10. Most England goals by a Spurs player – 54
The English skipper became England’s all‑time top scorer whilst at Spurs after overtaking Wayne Rooney’s 53 goals.
How likely is it to be broken one day? 1/10
Spurs do have several young English forwards: Dane Scarlett, Mikey Moore, and Will Lankshear. But they’ll need to remain at the club and earn a regular spot in the England national team in order to break this record.
Tottenham haven’t replaced Harry Kane yet
For all the goals and memories Harry Kane gave Spurs, his biggest legacy might be just how hard he is to replace. Of course, a few Spurs players have stepped up in moments, but no one has come close to matching Kane’s consistency or the ability to carry the team.
While Kane is off in Munich, breaking more records and finally lifting trophies, Spurs fans are still rooting for one of their own. However, unless Tottenham’s academy is hiding another generational No. 9, most of these records won’t be touched for a long, long time.
