I'll bet Harry Kane is looking at England’s World Cup draw and thinking he has half a chance of lifting the trophy next winter.
And that is why he’ll also be thinking very hard, again, about his club future before then. It sounds insane, but should he win the World Cup - and why not? It’s definitely possible after finishing fourth and second with England at the last two major tournaments - it would be his FIRST trophy.
It doesn’t sound possible does it? We’re talking about a striker who it’s not a question of if, but when he will become his country’s leading scorer of all time. We’re talking about the best English goalscorer of his generation. Yet the only medals he’s got are as a runner-up. With Spurs, that’s a couple of League Cup runners-up, and the Champions League when they lost to Liverpool in the final. And I can tell you, no professional player cares about runners-up medals.
