Harry Kane: “It’s Not Out Of The Question To Score 100 Goals.”
The Tottenham striker, who last week passed Bobby Moore as England’s all-time leading scorer, is not ruling out a century of goals for his country.
During this international break, Harry Kane surpassed Bobby Moore as the leading goalscorer for England, but he claimed that he is not done yet. The England captain said that reaching the 100-goal milestone “is not out of the question” for him at a news conference this week.
After goals in victories against Italy and Ukraine last week, England’s all-time leading goal scorer surpassed 55 goals for his nation. Nobody would wager on Kane greatly increasing his career total in the years to come given the attacking potential of Gareth Southgate’s youthful team.
Getting to 100 will be challenging, but I never rule anything out, Kane said. “At 29 years old, I still consider myself to be youthful and healthy. As long as I can, I want to play for England.
He stated, “I will put myself forward to try and play in every game there is.
“One hundred is not impossible. While it will be very difficult, we must wait and watch how the next years turn out.
Kane now has two more goals than Wayne Rooney to become England’s all-time leading scorer. He will want to be England’s first-choice striker for three more big tournaments. Kane and England’s next international break in June include matches against Malta and North Macedonia.
Can Kane surpass the greatest international goal scorers of all time?
Cristiano Ronaldo achieved a new record-breaking achievement to his extensive list of accomplishments the same week that Harry Kane broke the goalscoring mark for England. The Portuguese football superstar increased his astounding cap total to 198, becoming him the male player with the most international appearances.
With 122 goals scored throughout the course of a 21-year international career, Ronaldo also holds the record for most goals scored in men’s international football. This is how the current top five seem.
1. Cristiano Ronaldo, 198 appearances and 122 goals
2. Ali Daei (109 goals; 148 appearances).
3. Lionel Messi: 173 appearances, 99 goals.
4. Mokhtar Dahari, 142 appearances and 89 goals
5. Sunil Chhetri, 133 appearances and 85 goals
Kane must compete with other current players like Robert Lewandowski (78 international goals), Neymar (77), and Romelu Lukaku in addition to being 30 goals short of the top five all-time scorers (71).
While the Tottenham player has a somewhat higher goals-per-game ratio than Ronaldo, he would still need to play another 100 games to surpass the Portugal star’s current total even if he kept up his fantastic scoring pace for England.
