WHAT HARRY KANE SAID
Kane has told when asked if he would be happy if forced to hang up his boots right now: "I don’t think I’d be satisfied. There’s still so much more I want to achieve. I feel like I’m in a great place right now, with plenty of years ahead to keep pushing myself. I’ll probably still be kicking a ball around at 40 because I love the game so much. While I’m playing, it’s always about moving on to the next challenge."

DID YOU KNOW?
Portuguese superstar Ronaldo has proved that stunning standards can be maintained at 40 years of age. Kane wants to tread a similar path, with there no threat of him growing complacent. The iconic No.9 added: "I think I stay grounded by always looking at what’s next. When I break a record or hit a milestone, it’s an amazing achievement in the moment, but I never let myself dwell on it for too long. I’m always asking, ‘What else can I do? How can I improve?’ That mindset has been consistent throughout my career, and I think it will be the same until the day I retire. Maybe then, I’ll take the time to reflect properly, watch some clips back, and truly appreciate what I’ve accomplished."
