England striker, Harry Kane has said there is more to come from him after scoring a landmark 200 goals for Tottenham Hotspurs in their 3-1 win over Ludogoret Razgrad in the Europa League.

Since getting into the first team, Kane’s goal last night was his 34th headed goals for Spurs.
The landmark goal also came as Jose Mourinho’s side dominated a Europa League mismatch in Bulgaria.
With 27-year-old now in the Spurs history books. few would have predicted his prodigious goalscoring rate when he made his way into the first team seven years ago.
He is now behind only 1960s legends Jimmy Greaves and Bobby Smith with 208 and 266 goals respectively. It is expected that he moves into the second spot in not time this season with few games played so far.
Provided he stays fit, he should break the records next season having proven to be prolific goalscorer.
Apart from being a poacher, Kane has already registered double-digit assists this season. He continued from where he stopped by setting up Lucas Moura for Spurs’ second before being replaced at the interval.
Jose Mourinho, who was rewarded with a controlled and ruthless first-half display in contrast to last week’s result in Belgium will be banking on the England captain when the return for Premier League action this weekend against West Brom.
The victory puts Spurs back in contention in Group J.
Harry Kane: From a slow starter to record goalscorer
Although Kane opened his goal account for Spurs at the age of 18. It could the English striker till the age of 21 to prove himself.
He proved this by scoring in almost every game for Spurs after settling into the first-team squad after gathering experience from his loan spell at Millwall, Norwich, and Leicester City. He made a welcoming statement when he scored his first Premier League goal in the 2013-14 season. He’s barely stopped since.
He later comes back to hunt the Foxes, scoring 15 goals against them so far. Arsenal is next on the team that has suffered more from Kane with ten goals coming from Kane against them.
Kane has also secured legendary status at the club, with 100 of his goals coming at Spurs home grounds White Hart Lane, Wembley, and the new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. That makes it an 100-100 home away split of goals for the talisman,
As expected the majority of Kane’s goals have come from his right foot (121), with a massive 177 from inside the area.
What’s the next target for Harry Kane after landmark 200?
With the pace at which the English captain is scoring, it seems he won’t be stopping at any moment from now as he is certainly not slowing down.
Since he is alaready the top-scoring Premier League player in all competitions this season, with 12 goals in 13 appearances, with only Robert Lewandowski ahead of him in Europe’s top five leagues (also 12 for Bayern Munich), Kane’s next target is to beat the Bayern Municg striker.
He is already on par with another Tottenham favourite – Les Ferdinand – in the top 10 on the all-time Premier League list recently and is “only” 111 behind Alan Shearer’s record haul of 260.
At the age of 27, it is believed that Kane can do it.
On the international front, Kane already has 32 goals in 49 caps. The 2018 World Cup Golden Boot is already sixth on the all-time list.
He needs 22 more goals to overtake Rooney – who won another 71 caps.
