Kane Hits 500 Goals, New Record‑Breaking Possibilities Ahead

Harry Kane has become the first English player to score 500 professional goals, a milestone he hit with two goals in Bayern Munich’s win over Werder Bremen. He already tops the list of English scorers, surpassing Jimmy Greaves’ 474‑goal record in December. In just the first half of the season, he has netted 26 times in 22 Bundesliga games.
