Ex-Tottenham and England defender Danny Rose has no doubt that former club and international teammate Harry Kane will break Alan Shearer's all-time Premier League goalscoring record.
Kane surpassed the late Jimmy Greaves as Spurs' highest-ever scorer in February, and he's now within 55 goals of the 260 Shearer for Newcastle and Blackburn Rovers.
Assuming he stays in the Premier League, it seems like a matter of when, and not if, Kane takes the crown from Shearer. Rose certainly thinks so.
Speaking to FourFourTwo for the latest issue available to buy, Rose – who made over 200 appearances for Tottenham – said:
"I’ve played with a few fantastic strikers, but Kane was frightening. Harry’s heading, goalscoring and penalty record are simply phenomenal, and he has the professionalism, ambition and hunger to match. I just hope he wins some silverware – and at Tottenham. He’ll overtake Alan Shearer’s Premier League goal record, and it’d be great if he also bagged a trophy or two.”
Rose – who has been a free agent since leaving Watford back in September – was a member of the Spurs squads which lost the 2015 League Cup final and 2019 Champions League final – but, like Kane, never got his hands on any silverware with the club.
