The England captain has proved people wrong throughout his career and can silence the doubters again as he prepares for his 100th cap
saviour in a whirlwind 12 months after scoring 31 goals for his club in the 2014-15 season and netting 78 seconds into his international debut against Lithuania.
“That might have built a bit of desire to prove them wrong when I was that age,” he said of Arsenal’s decision. He is both England and Tottenham’s all-time top goalscorer and will reach another milestone on Tuesday by becoming only the 10th Englishman to reach 100 caps. He will be presented with more gold, this time in cap form, before the Nations League fixture against Finland. His sponsors Skechers have even made special gilded boots for him to wear.
“I feel in really good shape, both physically and mentally I feel like I’m at the peak of my career,” he said. No player should be an automatic selection for their country and Kane’s performances during the Euros fell short of the standard he has set throughout his time at the top even if he did finish the tournament with a share of golden boot.
