Kane against the world

Last updated : 11 February 2015 By Hoggg

It has been said by reporters, pundits and fans alike that Kane is the most prolific striker in the premier league. However it’s not entirely true.

Looking at the amount of minutes played versus goals scored Kane is in fact not the most prolific.

Player Minutes Goals Goals per minute Starts
Sergio Aguero 1413 16 88.31 17
Diego Costa 1603 17 94.29 19
Harry Kane 1431 13 110.08 15
Charlie Austin 1914 13 137.23 22
Alexis Sanchez 1831 12 152.58 21

Kane is 4 goals off 1st place Costa on 17, but joint third with Austin. However he is third in goals per minutes.

Where it gets interesting is if you look at goals in 2015. Across Europe’s top 5 leagues only Kane and Messi have managed 8 goals in 10 appearances. Higuain nor Neymar are close on 5 goals.

Kane is on 23 goals this season and I truly believe he could be the second highest goal scorer in Spurs Premier League history.
