  • Kane scored 73 goals in 65 games for England and Bayern Munich last season.

Harry Kane is expected to equal Peter Shilton's record of 125 England caps if he features in the UEFA Nations League fixture against the Czech Republic at Wembley. The England captain has already established himself as the country's record scorer, with 89 goals in 124 appearances.

Kane, 33, began his international career in March 2015, scoring 79 seconds into his debut against Lithuania. He has since become England's top scorer in major tournaments, with 21 goals in 36 appearances across six showpieces, exceeding Gary Lineker's 10 goals in 18 appearances.

Former England midfielder Danny Murphy stated that while opinions on England's greatest player vary by era, Kane's record and longevity confirm his status as an England great. Paul Robinson, another former international, suggested that the full extent of Kane's achievements may only be appreciated in the future.

Last season, Kane, a Ballon d'Or contender, scored 73 goals in 65 games for England and his club, Bayern Munich. He has also scored 11 goals in 12 games for England this calendar year, including in six consecutive away games.
