'Still kicking a ball around at 40' - Harry Kane plans to emulate Cristiano Ronaldo as there is 'so much more' that the Bayern Munich & England striker wants to achieve

The prolific frontman, who is captain of his country and their all-time leading goalscorer, is only 31 years of age. He is showing no sign of slowing down, with 73 goals being recorded through 74 appearances for German giants Bayern.

Kane is desperate to get his hands on major silverware, with the plan being to break that duck in style and finish his record-breaking career with multiple honours. With that in mind, and with there still plenty of targets for him to chase down, the ex-Tottenham forward intends to play on for some time yet.

Kane has told Soccer Bible when asked if he would be happy if forced to hang up his boots right now: "I don’t think I’d be satisfied. There’s still so much more I want to achieve. I feel like I’m in a great place right now, with plenty of years ahead to keep pushing myself. I’ll probably still be kicking a ball around at 40 because I love the game so much. While I’m playing, it’s always about moving on to the next challenge."

Portuguese superstar Ronaldo has proved that stunning standards can be maintained at 40 years of age. Kane wants to tread a similar path, with there no threat of him growing complacent. The iconic No.9 added: "I think I stay grounded by always looking at what’s next. When I break a record or hit a milestone, it’s an amazing achievement in the moment, but I never let myself dwell on it for too long. I’m always asking, ‘What else can I do? How can I improve?’ That mindset has been consistent throughout my career, and I think it will be the same until the day I retire. Maybe then, I’ll take the time to reflect properly, watch some clips back, and truly appreciate what I’ve accomplished."

Kane is being tipped to follow in the footsteps of Ronaldo and Lionel Messi be playing into and beyond his late 30s. His appetite for the game is showing no sign of waning, meaning that he will continue to give his all for Bayern and the Three Lions.
