Harry Kane reveals exactly when he wants to break England goalscoring record

Harry Kane wants to be England's top goalscorer of all time before leading the country in the World Cup this winter.

The Tottenham Hotspur striker has notched 49 goals in just 69 appearances for England and lies only four goals behind Wayne Rooney's total of 53, which came from 119 matches. England have six games ahead of the World Cup in Qatar, four in the next fortnight - starting with Saturday's Nations League match in Hungary - and two more in September and Kane is hoping that he can break the record before the tournament arrives.

"I'd like to break it as soon as possible, I'd love to score as many goals as I can in the next four games [this month] before the World Cup and see where we go from there, but I'm someone who doesn't let that stuff affect me when I'm on the pitch," the Spurs forward said in his press conference ahead of Saturday's game.
