Andros Townsend thinks it is inevitable that Tottenham striker Harry Kane will surpass Alan Shearer's Premier League goalscoring record.

The England captain recorded his 150th league goal in the 1-0 win over West Bromwich Albion on Sunday.

And Crystal Palace winger Townsend thinks his former Spurs teammate will eventually eclipse Shearer's 260 tally.

He told talkSPORT : "If he stays in the Premier League for the next four or five years, 100 per cent, I think he will. He's on course with 110 to go

"If he continues his average of 26 goals every 38 games then he's only three of four years away. Knowing Harry Kane, he thinks about that target every single day.

"Every single time he goes into training, he's thinking about breaking that all-time goalscoring record because that's what Harry Kane is like.

"Knowing Harry Kane and the way he looks after his body… yes, he picks up injuries, but his game is not really reliant on pace and I can see him going well into his 30s.

"He's very determined, he's very focused, and if he sets his mind to something, eventually he will get it."
