HARRY KANE immediately set his sights on Alan Shearer's Premier League goal record after becoming Tottenham's all-time top scorer last night and says he is still getting better and better.
Kane's 267th Spurs goal took him beyond Jimmy Greaves as the club's record scorer and earned a hardfought 1-0 win over Manchester City.
The England captain's 15th-minute strike was also his 200th goal in the Premier League, leaving him just 60 shy of Shearer's record.
"It's always there in the back of my mind, but I just take it game by game, season by season," Kane told Standard Sport. "It's definitely there to be broken and I'm feeling good and feeling fit, so we'll see what happens.
"It's been an amazing journey. I've been here since I was 11 years old, it's 18 years of my life - a lot of hard work and dedication.
"I'm extremely proud to represent this club. To score 267 goals for them and 200 Premier League goals for them is something I'll never take for granted.
I've just got to keep it going and score as many as I can.
