Kane Set to Become England's Most-Capped Male Player

Harry Kane will earn his 126th cap for England in Thursday's UEFA Nations League match against Croatia at Wembley, becoming the most-capped male player in England's history. The match will also end the record held by former goalkeeper Peter Shilton since 1989.

The Bayern Munich striker is 33 years old. Before the match, he will present the Ballon d'Or, which he won last month, to English fans. Kane told reporters at his former club Tottenham's training ground that it is among the greatest achievements of his career.

In 2023, Kane passed Wayne Rooney's England record of 53 goals, and with 91 goals he now ranks among the greatest players in his country's history. However, he has yet to win a major tournament trophy with England. Head coach Thomas Tuchel described Kane as an excellent captain and a leader others look up to. Tuchel also added that Kane has become smarter in his play as he has gotten older.

Kane's next target is 100 goals. Last season, he scored 73 goals in 65 matches for Bayern Munich and England combined. Kane said he wants to reach 100 goals as soon as possible.
