Tottenham striker Harry Kane has Wayne Rooney’s record in sight as England prepare to face Croatia during the international break.
The former Manchester United striker played his last England game in our 3-0 win over the United States. Rooney ended his international career with 53 goals from 120 games.
Kane, for his part, has 19 goals for the Three Lions and was asked if he could break Rooney’s scoring record (h/t BT Sport).
“It is definitely possible.
“It is still a fair bit away, I don’t like to set my targets that far ahead in the future because a lot can happen.
“We will see over the years how many goals I have got. Hopefully I will still be fit and healthy and getting selected by the manager.
“It is achievable but not something I’m thinking about too much right now.”
The clash against Croatia would be a repeat of the World Cup semi which England lost. A win over the Croatians would send England into the semi-finals of the UEFA Nations League but the away side will come with a lot of confidence.
Croatia defeated Spain in their last game, and Gareth Southgate has to be wary of the threat from the away side.
Kane will be one of the key players in this clash, and hopefully, he will score a few goals at Wembley.
