Every Tottenham top scorer from 10 years of Premier League shows a worrying decline

Tottenham have a glaring goalscoring problem, one clearly highlighted by their top scorer record over the last ten Premier League seasons. One of Tottenham Hotspur 's major struggles this season has been in the striker position, with the Lilywhites scoring just three goals in their opening six games.

That run of form is the worst return in the division, with no other side managing fewer goals. Not only are Spurs bottom for goals scored, but they are also second-bottom for expected goals, with Coventry the only side worse off.

Dominic Solanke, Conor Gallagher and Jan Paul van Hecke all stand as the top scorers this season, with one goal each. But what about the last 20 Premier League seasons?

Spurs Web has looked through the numbers. Harry Kane and Heung-min Son took care of that.

Ten seasons of data show how much Spurs relied on them, and how badly things have gone since. MORE SPURS STORIES Kane or Son finished top in eight of the ten seasons, and Son made the top three nine times.

Kane hit 29 or 30 goals three times. By 2025/26, a defensive midfielder and a centre-back were Spurs' second and third best scorers.
