Remarkably, Kane is just the fifth player to score 100 or more goals in two of Europe's top five leagues. Here are the five prolific forwards to have achieved the feat.

The only man in history to have won Golden Boots in three different top-five leagues,Cristiano Ronaldo came, saw, and conquered multiple countries.

Ronaldo racked up 84 league goals during his first spell at Manchester United, before returning in 2021 to climb to 103 overall and join the Premier League's '100 club'.

His first spell at Manchester United concluded with a world-record move to Real Madrid in 2009, where the Portuguese forward sent records tumbling. Ronaldo became Real Madrid's all-time leading scorer with an astonishing 450 goals in 438 appearances, including 311 in La Liga.

Serie A: 156 | Ligue 1: 113

Just three overseas imports have ever scored more Serie A goals thanZlatan Ibrahimovic, whose illustrious career took in spells at the big three; Juventus, Inter Milan, and AC Milan.

He won theCapocannoniere as the league's leading scorer in 2009 and 2011, during spells on either side of the Milan divide, and won Serie A Footballer of the Year a joint-record three times, alongside Andrea Pirlo.

Ibrahimovic also scored 113 goals in 122 Ligue 1 games for Paris Saint-Germain, having been one of the French side's transformative marquee signings.

Serie A: 112 | Ligue 1: 138

Edinson Cavani also scored 100+ goals in Serie A and Ligue 1.

El Matador made his name at Palermo in Italy, before a move to Napoli saw him emerge as one of Europe's leading number nines.

A return of 112 goals in Serie A saw Paris Saint-Germain swoop, where Cavani scored a former club-record 200 goals in 301 games, eclipsing Ibrahimovic's benchmark for the French side. Kylian Mbappe later surpassed Cavani.

La Liga: 107 | Serie A: 125

One of the finest finishers of his generation,Gonzalo Higuain scored 107 goals in 190 league games for Real Madrid.

The Argentine's output saw him storm past a century in Spanish football, but competition from Karim Benzema persuaded him to move on in 2013.

Higuain scored 125 goals in Serie A during spells at Napoli, Juventus and AC Milan, with his stint with the former arguably the best of his career.

In 2015/16, Higuain scored 36 goals in 35 games, setting a historic single-season Serie A goal record.

Premier League: 213 | Bundesliga: 101 and counting

Harry Kane joined the exclusive group of centurions in two of Europe's top-five leagues this month.

Kane scored his 100th league goal for Bayern Munich during a 7-0 win over Union Berlin. In the process, the England captain broke the 49-year-old record for the fastest player to score 100 Bundesliga goals, achieving the feat in his 98th league game for the club.

Kane had scored 213 goals in 320 appearances in the Premier League before his move to Germany. Only Alan Shearer (260) has scored more goals in the Premier League era.
