Harry Kane grabbed another goal in England’s 4-0 win over Kosovo on Sunday night, taking another step towards becoming the team’s all-time top goalscorer.

Kane now has 32 goals for his country, and at just 26-years-old still has plenty of time ahead of him to catch Rooney.

The former Manchester United striker is England’s all-time top scorer with 53,

He wrote in his Daily Mail column that if Kane gets injured, that could slow him down, as could the emergence of Tammy Abraham.

“Or possibly if someone like Tammy Abraham can somehow succeed in forcing him out of the starting line-up.

“It would be unfair to brand Kane a flat-track bully, and I wouldn't call him that because he offers so much more, but he loves facing inferior opponents. There's nothing wrong with that, of course.” Related articles
