Harry Kane reveals ambition to score century of England goals.
England captain Harry Kane has stated his intention to score 100 goals for the Three Lions before retiring.
Kane became England’s all-time leading scorer after scoring from the penalty spot in their 2-1 triumph against Italy last Thursday. He subsequently added to his tally with the first goal in Sunday’s 2-0 triumph over Ukraine.
At the top of England’s scoring statistics alone, Kane still has plenty of gas left in the tank at age 29 to extend his record.
He has acknowledged that, although it will be challenging, he is still hopeful of being the first player to score 100 goals for England.
“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,” Kane said.

“Every game there is I will be putting myself forward to try and play. We will take it step-by-step. The next step will be trying to get into the sixties.
“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.
“I am extremely passionate about my country – I love playing for England,” he added.
“To think of all the English legends and strikers that have played the game and to be number one now is just beyond my dreams.
“Playing for England is special and to have this record is special. I don’t think I dreamed this far. I dreamed 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.”
Kane has now surpassed Jimmy Greaves‘ record of 266 goals for the Spurs to become the club’s all-time greatest scorer.
