The Premier League has seen some of the best strikers in the world all take the competition by storm. But only three have been able to stick around long enough to score 200+ goals.
Here are the only three players that have achieved this impressive feat over the course of their careers.

3. Wayne Rooney (462 games)
The Manchester United legend has scored 208 goals in the Premier League, and is its second highest goalscorer ever. He also played for Everton in England, before moving to the MLS where he ended his professional career. Rooney played as an attacking midfielder, as well as a striker, but that wasn’t throughout his career which makes this feat all the more impressive.
2. Alan Shearer (306 games)
Shearer remains the Premier League’s all-time top scorer with 260 goals. He most prominently featured for Newcastle United, but also played for Blackburn Rovers during the early days of his career.
1. Harry Kane (303 games)
Harry Kane is the fastest player yet to score 200 Premier League goals. And he is now Tottenham Hotspur’s all-time top scorer with 267 goals across all competitions. The England captain is yet to win a prominent piece of silverware, which seems to be long overdue given his elite goalscoring record.
