Harry Kane set to make history: "This is one of the biggest milestones of my career"

Harry Kane says winning his 126th cap for England, and with it becoming the most-capped player in the country's history, will be one of the biggest milestones of his career.

England face Croatia on Thursday in their penultimate Nations League group match. Head coach Thomas Tuchel has already confirmed that Kane will be in the starting line-up.

The experienced striker will win his 126th senior cap for the Three Lions in this match, moving past Peter Shilton, who holds the record of 125 caps, to stand alone at the top of the list.

Kane, who currently has 91 goals, became England's all-time leading scorer by some distance when he surpassed Wayne Rooney's previous record of 53 goals more than three years ago.

Since his debut in 2015, Kane has proved himself one of the greatest players the national team has ever had, playing a leading role as England reached two European Championship finals and two World Cup semi-finals, which ended with a bronze medal this year.

Ahead of this historic match, Kane will also have the honour of parading the prestigious award in front of England supporters as the first English player to win the Ballon d'Or since Michael Owen (2001).

Asked where this match ranks in his career, Kane said: "It's definitely right up there. I think it shows consistency at the highest level. It's proof of all the dedication people don't see, of the time spent keeping me fit and healthy. This is one of the biggest milestones of my career. As for my next target, I don't like putting limits on myself; I want to reach 100 goals as quickly as possible. We've done extremely well by going deep in tournaments. I feel really good and hopefully I have many more years ahead of me to see what I can achieve."

Asked about the other moments in an England shirt that he will never forget, the experienced striker said: "Your first game for the national team is always very special. That dream coming true, scoring in my first game at Wembley and coming on for Wayne Rooney will always stay with me. The games at the last World Cup were incredible too. I'm lucky to have had some great moments, but the crucial moments at major tournaments really never leave you."

Turning to his ultimate goal at international level, Kane ended by stressing that he wants to lead England to their first major trophy since the 1966 World Cup: "Winning a major trophy with England is my biggest dream. A World Cup or a European Championship, hopefully both... But I know very well how hard that is."
