Euro 2020 – Kane will break my England goal record, says Rooney

The former Three Lions striker sees no reason why the Tottenham group leader cannot continue the international account of a Manchester United legend.

Harry Kane will have 53 goals scored for England by Wayne Rooney after surpassing Sir Geoff Hurst on the list of all-time records, said Alan Shearer. Fans have bought their England Euro Cup Tickets and hoping for their favorite players to perform well in the tournament.

The Tottenham striker raised his international total to 25 with a hat-trick against Bulgari. He was once again the star player of Gareth Southgate, who had qualified 4-0 for the Euro 2020 qualifier at Wembley.

Kane's hit rate across the 40 appearances for England far outstripped Rooney. He is only 26 years old and has time to lose when it comes to chasing a Manchester United legend.

Former England leader Shearer sees no reason why Kane cannot raise the bar, "Harry's duel with Bulgaria on Saturday means he's now outgrown Geoff Hurst in England.

He's five years behind my international total of 30 and it's only a matter of time before I double. Harry will watch Wayne Rooney's England record with 53 goals, and since he's only 26, he's likely to beat him.

If he stays in shape, Harry could still have six or seven years to play for England. There are more international matches now, and a lot against weaker opponents, which is great for him and for all the attackers.

"Harry is going to have a lot of chances, especially because he's playing alongside Raheem Sterling."

Kane's tripled against Bulgaria included two penalties, the Spurs star once again showing that it was virtually impossible to stop at 12 yards. Shearer added on an impressive record, I love Harry Kane's confidence and self-confidence when it comes to taking penalties.

On his 25 goals for England, eight came from the match. But even if 24 of his 25 goals were penalties, it does not matter as a central striker.

"He's an unscrupulous and cold-blooded number 9 who has an insatiable desire and a thirst for scoring - and that makes him such a ruthless player."

Kane will be back on the track on Tuesday as England face Kosovo at St Mary's.
