Premier League's all-time top-scorer Alan Shearer has opined that Harry Kane would stay at Tottenham even if he doesn't win a trophy with the North London side.
With 267 goals, Kane leads the Spurs attack and is one of just three players — along with Wayne Rooney and Shearer — to reach the 200-goal mark in the Premier League.
However, despite his exceptional individual records, the England skipper has never taken home a major title.
Kane's love affair with Tottenham is most similar to Shearer, who had the same relationship with Newcastle United.
After winning his only trophy with Blackburn in 1994-95, Shearer, who scored 260 goals in the Premier League, joined his boyhood club Newcastle.
The former England striker had turned down Manchester United to join The Magpies in 1996, where he spent the rest of his career.
Meanwhile, except for loan trips, Kane has played his whole career for the Spurs after graduating from their academy. With 53 goals, he and Rooney are England's top two scorers.
"There is not one minute of any day I look back at my career and say I wish had gone to Manchester United because I would have won medals," Shearer told BBC Radio 5.
"Harry has the Tottenham record and will have a statue, will get the England record and probably a statue at Wembley and a good chance the Premier League record. They are his medals.
"I can see why he would take the decision to stay at Tottenham. He already has greatness around him and if he doesn't win a trophy I don't think will bother him at all. He is the only one who can answer it, if he can say 'I'm the happiest guy alive, I have all the records, I might not have a trophy, but I'm happy'."
Jimmy Greaves' mark of 266 goals for the Spurs, which had stood since 1970, was recently surpassed by Kane. He has 60 fewer goals than Shearer's record in the Premier League.
Martin Keown, a former England and Arsenal defender, concurred with Shearer that success is measured by records.
"If he's not winning trophies then it is a trophy on its own if he's going to score the most Premier League goals of all time. I do admire him for staying at Spurs. I like the fact he's a one-club player. But it is a big dilemma for him, surely he wants to win some trophies?" Keown said.
"He's top class, he will take that record and then we won't have to talk about Alan Shearer anymore. I think he'll make 300 goals, without a doubt."
