  • DID YOU KNOW?

    WHAT HARRY KANE SAID

    Kane has told The Times: “I saw a lot of similarities between me and him. No one expected him to do it and it’s a story people can relate to, of hard work and never giving up.

    “Self-belief has probably been my biggest strength throughout my career. No matter what, I’ve always done what I believed is right. That could be training, that could be matches, that could be telling someone they’re doing something wrong or not agreeing with what we’re doing as a team.

    “I think when you’re confident in yourself and believe in what you’re doing, you have no fear, almost. I think back to Norwich and Leicester and I wasn’t playing but doing extra training and finishing and had some players laughing and saying, ‘I don’t know why you’re doing that’. All those little moments made me who I am.”

  • WHAT NEXT?

    Kane is now 31 years of age and has no intention of slowing down any time soon. The England captain is eager to chase down more honours with club and country, while transfer gossip suggests that he could have a future back in the Premier League or in the United States as he graces MLS.
