Harry Kane Sets Sights On 100 England Goals In Upcoming Landmark Appearance

Harry Kane is poised to make his 100th appearance for England against Finland at Wembley on Tuesday. This milestone makes him the 10th player to achieve this feat, following Wayne Rooney in November 2014. Kane, England's top scorer with 66 goals in 99 matches, also has 17 assists for the national team.

Kane aims to score 100 goals for his country, dismissing suggestions that it might be too ambitious. "It's possible, it's there," Kane said. "What is it, 34 goals? It is strange, I have touched on it a bit, 100 caps have come round so quick especially the last few years, playing three major tournaments in such a short space of time."

He added, "In those years I've done around 15, 16, 17 caps a year, whereas a normal year would be 10. The goals were similar. I felt I was on 30 goals and then, bam, I went to 50 and 60. It is definitely there and definitely possible."

Kane scored three times at Euro 2024 and shared the Golden Boot with five other players. His last goal came from a penalty against the Netherlands in the semi-final. He started in England's Nations League opener against the Republic of Ireland on Saturday but did not score despite having the most shots (four) and touches in the opposition box (nine).

Kane's Ambitious Goals

Kane averages a goal every 117 minutes for England and believes he can reach his target of scoring 100 goals. "I feel like I am in a good place," he said. "These are good targets to try to reach. Some people may see them as unrealistic, but I would rather go for something unrealistic and not quite make it than be comfortable just saying I will be happy with 70 or 80 goals."

Before kick-off on Tuesday, Kane will receive a golden cap to commemorate his landmark appearance.
