Tottenham striker Harry Kane has played down talk of breaking the England goalscoring record, despite seemingly being on the way.
Harry Kane reached 25 goals for England with a hattrick against Bulgaria on Saturday night. The 26 year old has scored those 25 goals in just 40 international games.
With goal 25, Harry Kane moved past Sir Geoff Hurst (24) on the scoring charts. He is England’s 14th highest scorer, and is nearly halfway towards Wayne Rooney’s all-time record of 53.
Given the relatively poor quality of England’s EURO Qualification opponents, Kane could make his way even further up that list in the current round of fixtures. Monday night’s game against Kosovo is another opportunity for him to grab a few goals.

Kane wasn’t letting himself get carried away with surpassing Hurst, which is a ‘great milestone to reach’.
“When I score for England, It’s obviously something that people bring up,” he said. “But I’ve said before it’s still a long way off and there’s a lot that can happen.”

“It’s something I’m very proud of, but I’m always looking forward for the next one, the next set of goals. [I want to see] if I can get to 30 and how quick I can get to 30, and go from there. We have another game on Tuesday [against Kosovo], where I feel we will be able to create chances, so hopefully I can get a couple more.
“The main thing is that we keep winning. I’m in a good place with the players I’m playing with, they are going to create chances, they are going to give me opportunities. I’ve just got to make sure I’m ready to put them away.”
