3rd: Jermain Defoe (91 Premier League goals for Spurs)
Defoe comes in at third with the amount of Premier League goals he scored for Spurs. Defoe scored the same amount of goals as Keane in the Premier League but gets the nod ahead of the Irishman for scoring more in all competitions.

During two spells at Spurs between 2004-2014, Defoe became a fan favourite due to his relentless play and goalscoring abilities.

One of the best British strikers ever to kick a ball in the English top tier, Defoe is still going strong today at 35 years of age and will go down as one of Tottenham’s greatest ever goalscorers.
