  "account": "Premier League all-time goal leaders Harry Kane and Erling Haaland continue to make strides towards challenging the record held by Alan Shearer, who boasts an impressive 260 goals. Haaland, the fastest player to reach 100 goals in the league at just 26 years old, is currently 147 goals behind Shearer. As of now, no active Premier League player is within 140 goals of Shearer's record.\n\nLiverpool's Mohamed Salah has exited the league, leaving Wayne Rooney and Harry Kane as the next closest challengers, with 193 and 213 goals respectively. Rooney, a Manchester United and Everton legend, is a mere 47 goals away from Shearer's mark. Kane's recent surge has pushed him 47 goals ahead of Rooney in the all-time list.\n\nOther notable figures in the top 50 include Liverpool's Gabriel Jesus with 79 goals, and Manchester City's Richarlison and Chris Wood, both with 92 goals. Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Bruno Fernandes from Chelsea also feature with 71 goals each. The full list of all-time goal scorers in the Premier League is available for further reference.",
  "summary": "Alan Shearer is the king of Premier League goal scorers, and Erling Haaland is well behind the king as the closest active PL rival.",
