The 31-year-old striker made his 105th appearance in Monday's 3-0 qualifying win over Latvia, also finding the net for his 71st international goal.

That game was Kane's 90th in England colours to start, just 15 games behind goalkeeper Peter Shilton's all-time international record.

“It's definitely there. I've made it clear I want to play for England as long as possible,” said Kane. “Of course leading up to the World Cup, there are plenty of games before then and hopefully eight games at that tournament.

“It's 10 years this week (Thursday) since I played for England for the first time. It's been a great journey, a lot of ups, a lot of downs.”
