LAGOS, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA)- The all-time leading scorer in England, Harry Kane is ready to take on the challenge of trying to reach century mark for the Three Lions.
It is another productive international break for the prolific Tottenham striker which has seen him pass Wayne Rooney as the most lethal marksman to ever represent his country.
The record-breaking Tottenham striker rewrote the history books by slamming home a penalty in the Euro 2024 qualification against Italy.
The England captain Kane told PA Sport when Questioned on whether he could reach three figures before calling it a day,’ said: “Getting 100 will be tough for sure, but I never count out anything. I am still young, I am 29, I am still fit and strong. I want to play for England for as long as I can.
“Every game there is I will be putting myself forward to try to play. We will take it step by step. The next step will be trying to get into the 60s. A hundred is not out of the question, it will be extremely tough but we will have to see how the next few years go.”
The all time England scorer is absolutely proud of all that he has achieved with England, saying of standing alone at the top of a notable goal chart:
“I am extremely passionate about my country, I love playing for England. Even when I was younger, England was everything to me, watching them growing up. To be in that company now. To think of all the English legends and strikers that have played the game and to be No 1 now is just beyond my dreams.
“Playing for England is special and to have this record is special. I don’t think I dreamt this far. I dreamt of playing for England and scoring for England – to be record goalscorer was not even in my dreams. I have had so many great moments and hopefully there are more to come.”
Meanwhile, England will not be in action again until facing Malta and North Macedonia in June, as Kane heads back to club duty with Spurs amid raging speculation about his future.
