Harry Kane’s late, late penalty at Anfield on Sunday saw him reach 100 Premier League goals.
The stats don’t lie. There is now little doubt – if any at all – that the Tottenham star is one of the finest strikers in world football.
Wayne Rooney, making his debut on Sky Sports’ Monday Night Football, likened Kane to a young Alan Shearer. Asked what Kane’s targets might be for the future, Rooney added that he was good enough to play in any team in the world.
Extending on this, Rooney warned that if Spurs fail to start winning trophies in the near future, Kane will want to leave the North London club to play elsewhere.
“I think the problem that Tottenham have is that his motivation is goals,” Rooney explained. “His motivation is going to change from goals to trophies and if Tottenham don’t win trophies in the next year, maybe two, he’s going to want to play elsewhere.
“That’s the decision he’s got in the next year or two. Tottenham have also got decisions too, whether they’re going to bring more players in and really have a push at the Premier League.”

Kane’s performances in recent years are already thought to have caught the eye of Real Madrid, with reports in Spain already claiming the European champions are interested in signing him.
The England striker recently admitted that his main aim was to win trophies with Spurs. The club lost the League Cup final to Chelsea during his breakthrough season in 2015 and have not clinched a major honour since winning that same competition back in 2008 under Juande Ramos.
“We want to start winning trophies so that’s the aim,” Kane said back in January. “As long as the club keeps doing that then I’m happy here. I’ve always said, just keep progressing, keep getting better.”
