Following Harry Kane's departure from the Premier League to join Bayern Munich, BBC Sport looks at his impact in the English top flight.

Kane is one of 34 players to have scored 100 or more Premier League goals, but one of only three to have netted over 200, with this latter trio having all captained England.

Where Kane truly stands out is in the speed by which he has amassed his top-flight goals tally, with his ratio of 0.67 per game matched only by Aguero and fractionally bettered by Thierry Henry . Henry is the only player with more Premier League Golden Boots to his name than Kane, with the French forward finishing top scorer in the English top flight four times during his Gunners career .

Kane, though, has the honour of netting the most goals in a calendar year courtesy of the 39 he bagged in 2017.Of course, Kane may be second in the Premier League scorers list, but he is much further down the list of all-time highest goalscorers in England's top flight. Greaves also leads the way for the number of seasons in which a player has top-scored in the top flight. He managed the feat six times.Kane has always had the ability to pick a pass, but in recent seasons he has added elite-level goal assistance to his goalscoring prowess.

If we extend the period back to the date of Kane's Premier League debut - a five-minute substitute appearance against Newcastle on the opening day of the 2012-13 season - he is way out in front on goal contributions with 259 - a testament not only to his talent but his consistency and longevity.
