Messi, Ronaldo, Kane: 11 players with most goals for one club in the 21st century

Harry Kane was Tottenham Hotspur‘s match winner for the umpteenth time last Saturday afternoon.

In a tense home match against a talented Wolverhampton Wanderers side, England’s captain scored the only goal to secure a 1-0 victory and three precious points.

Kane latched onto Ivan Perisic’s clever flick from a corner kick and headed home from close-range.

It was Kane’s 250th goal for Spurs across all competitions, which is a quite incredible achievement.

The supremely-gifted striker is only the ninth player to reach that landmark at one club in the 21st century thus far – and one of three for a Premier League outfit.

So who’s ahead of Kane? Well, the folks over at the International Federation of Football History & Statistics have all the answers.

They’ve officially named the 11 players with the most goals for one club in the 21st century.
