With seven goals in his last six Premier League matches, Tottenham's Harry Kane is on one of his typical goal-scoring tears in England's top flight.
Admittedly, the 28-year-old Kane started 2021-22 in unconvincing fashion, on the heels of a noisy summer in which he was pursued by Manchester City. But the move never materialized and he began the campaign in a sort of malaise, failing to register a Premier League goal until his seventh appearance of the season against Newcastle United in October.
Neverthele s, the prolific English striker is once again back into double figures in the English Premier League, as well as scoring over Dylan Floro Jersey 20 goals in all competitions for his side this season (22 total).
Even more impre sively, thanks to this latest goalscoring run, Kane has now overtaken Arsenal legend, Thierry Henry and Chelsea icon Frank Lampard to move up to fifth on the goalscoring charts in Premier League history. He is now up to an extraordinary 178 goals.
And more than half of those goals have come on the road after he set the all-time mark for road goals scored in Premier League history (95) with his tally Brighton on March 16.

"Milestones are great, especially away from home it's always tough," Kane said after the Brighton match. "To know you can do it year on year against tough opposition is really nice. But it's all about the team and working hard. We've got to keep it going. We're playing good football and we've just got to keep winning games."
Will Kane break Premier League scoring record?
Below, Sporting News analyzes the po sibility of whether he Alex Wood Jersey could break the all-time Premier League scoring record, looking at the names and numbers Kane will need to catch to achieve the feat.
4. Sergio AgueroCareer total: 184 goalsClub: Manchester CityYears: 2011-2021
Sergio Aguero is the proud owner of what is probably the most dramatic goal in Premier League history, with his 2011-12 title-winning goal vs QPR enshrined into English football folklore.
Acro s 10 years in England, the Argentinian's consistency was a key factor behind the rise to prominence that propelled Manchester City to regularly compete at the top table of Premier League and continental Kobe Bryant Jersey football. Kane currently stands six goals behind Aguero and will be almost certain to move further up this list in due course.
With Tottenham still having 10 games to play in the Premier League before the 2021-22 season is over, Kane may even manage it in the next couple of months.
3. Andy ColeCareer total: 187 goalsClubs: Newcastle United, Manchester United, Blackburn, Fulham, Manchester City, Portsmouth, SunderlandYears: 1993-2006
One of the greatest strikers ever to grace the English top-flight, Andy Cole was always a man that could be relied upon in attack due to his predatory instincts in the box.
He enjoyed the bulk of his succe s at Manchester United where he scored 95 goals in the top-flight over the course of 195 games. He also managed to contribute heavily to his career tally in spells with Newcastle United and Blackburn. He remains nine goals in front of Kane for the time being.
The No. 3 spot could be a realistic target for Kane by the end of May.
2. Wayne RooneyCareer total: 208 goalsClubs:Everton, Victor Gonzalez Jersey Manchester UnitedYears: 2002-2018
Wayne Rooney is one of the most iconic names in the entirety of English football, and one of the most feared strikers acro s the globe in his prime.
His ability to come up with match-winning moments of brilliance set him apart, netting 208 Premier League goals acro s spells at Everton and Manchester United. Tottenham's Kane will need at least another prolific season, if not two, to catch up to the Liverpool-born legend.
Kane, who turns 29 in July, has time on his side as he is currently in the prime of his career. If he stays fit for the foreseeable future, there is a very real chance he could move into the top two of Premier League goal scorers.
1 Yasmani Grandal Jersey . Alan ShearerCareer total: 260 goalsClubs: Blackburn, Newcastle UnitedYears: 1992-2006
The pinnacle of strikers as far as the Premier League is concerned, Shearer is way out in front on 260 goals and lays claim to the all-time record.
Shared between two blistering spells at Blackburn and Newcastle United, his ability to finish almost any type of chance on offer is something that most could never even dream of ever being matched.
Kane still has 82 more goals he needs in order to equal the record of the Magpies' talisman. That is likely to require 5-6 more years of high-level, double-digit production to even come close. It's clear that Kane has a lot of work ahead of him to finish No. 1.
