Tottenham star Harry Kane boasts better stats than Arsenal legend Thierry Henry in EVERY, single category so far in his career
ARSENAL and Tottenham are set to reignite their North London rivalry on Saturday, as they do battle in the Premier League.
The clubs are preparing for another mammoth showdown at the Emirates in the first top-flight kick-off since the international break.
And it's fair to say, Harry Kane will be the main man to watch...
While we all know Spurs star Kane is a tremendously talented player, when you compare him to Arsenal legend Thierry Henry, things get even more ridiculous.
In fact, at the same stage in each player's career, Kane is well ahead on goals, assists, hat-tricks and even minutes per goal.
The Tottenham man has 112 goals to Henry's 98 after 179 games in all competitions - and is ahead in assists too, on 18 compared to the Gunners legend's 12.
Kane also has five hat-tricks to Henry's two, while boasting a minutes per goal tally of just 148... to Henry's shoddy 464.
Amazingly, the only small chunk of solace for Henry comes in the team trophies department, with four trophies while at Arsenal.

Both players also got their hands on the Golden Boot - with Henry adding one Player of the Year to his trophy cabinet.
On the incredible stats, head of sport at Grosvenorsport.com, Steve Munns, claimed: “Whilst Arsenal have had the upper hand for decades, there’s a general feeling that Spurs have overtaken their North London rivals.
"And it looks like ‘one of their own’ is making a name for himself too.
“We’ve looked into Thierry Henry’s record and compared Harry Kane’s statistics after the same amount of games.
"Not only has Kane grabbed his debut goal, century of goals and golden boot quicker than Henry, he has more goals and assists after the same amount of games too.
“Henry is fifth in the all-time Premier League record goal scorers, but Kane is well on his way towards overtaking the Frenchman.

"Spurs’ No10 might still have a long way to go before matching Henry’s total goals, but he’s well on course to achieve just that.
“We make Harry Kane 7/4 favourite to be top Premier League scorer this season and 4/1 for PFA Player of the Year.”
During his illustrious career, Henry netted 228 goals in 258 appearances for Arsenal - with 175 of those strikes coming in the Premier League.
For now, Kane is on track to not only beat Henry... but also shatter Alan Shearer's Premier League record.
