SOUTHGATE: KANE CAN RIVAL MESSI & RONALDO

HARRY KANE has set his sights on joining Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi as a world-class superstar.

England boss Gareth Southgate revealed Kane is already trying to catch their statistics and says even Spain coach Julen Lopetegui is jealous.

Kane has scored five goals in his last three England games and at 24, he has scored 125 career goals for club and country while Messi had 203, and Ronaldo had 137 at the same age.

Southgate said: “I was having some interaction with Julen Lopetegui and he was saying on how lucky I was to have Harry playing. He’s in top form, but he’s also got the mentality to want to be the best.

“He knew this morning how many goals in games he had, and also how many Ronaldo and Messi had at this point. He’s driven to be one of the world’s best. Why can’t that happen moving forward?

“I have every trust in Harry. I’ve worked with him long enough. He relishes the occasions. We’re talking about a 24-year-old, so there’s more to come.“HARRY v HENDO FOR ENGLAND CAPTAIN:
