'He will be a bit nervous' - Ian Wright on Harry Kane's challenge Alan Shearer's goals landmark

Harry Kane has hit a rich vein of goalscoring form after a poor first half of the season according to his high standards. The Tottenham striker has long been seen as the only player with a real chance of catching up with Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer in the Premier League goalscoring charts.

The St James' Park favourite tops the rankings on 260 Premier League goals, whilst the Spurs striker is sixth on 176 goals. Discussing Kane's recent form, Ian Wright said that he felt Kane might not win any trophies in his career or even topple Shearer as record goalscorer but that the Geordie would be 'nervous' about Kane taking his record.

"Harry Kane in that mood is frightening," Wright said on his podcast ' Wrighty's House '. "If he can get a medal for England, I’m happy. I will back him to the end."
