Kane's broken some more records in this break, rather unsurprisingly. Most goals for England while playing for a non-English club. Most goals for English national teams, including England Amateurs. He took both records from other former Spurs players, too. Gary Lineker scored 16 for England while playing for Barcelona and Kane's now got 18. Vivian Woodward scored 75 goals for England and England Amateurs. He got 29 in 23 games for the former and 46 in 30 for the latter. His career was cut short by WWI, where he sustained a grenade injury and couldn't continue. Just for clarity, yes, that does mean that Arsenal's leading England scorer has less than Barca's. They're also chasing Blackpool, Bolton, Preston, Derby, Boro, Fulham, etc.

There is definitely an argument to be made that he is one of the most complete footballers of all time. The only thing he doesn't have is pace (although he's no slouch), and a name that sounds like it comes from somewhere sunny.
I would agree with that assessment. And he's definitely not slow, even at 32. But his real speed is in his speed of thought, seeing spaces and passes before anyone else. In that regard, Teddy Sheringham was something similar, but not anything like at the same level.
Where is his best position, 9 or 10? I think 10, in the Sheringham or Beardsley tradition. Just too skilful to limit to 9 role imo.
Kane scored again, making it 20 goals in his first 12 games this season. According to the BBC, neither Messi nor Ronaldo have ever managed that.
