From the source

Alan Shearer has pleaded with Harry Kane to extend his contract with Bayern Munich rather than return to the Premier League and break his goal-scoring record.

No player has come close to beating the Newcastle United legend’s record of 260 goals in the English top-flight, which has stood for 20 years and counting.

Kane was on track to eventually overtake Shearer before leaving Tottenham Hotspur to join Bayern on a four-year deal in 2023, leaving him on 213 goals.
