Harry Kane set to break England caps record against Croatia

Sky News reported that Harry Kane is set to become England men's most capped player in the Nations League match against Croatia. The 33-year-old won the Ballon d'Or last month. He has just signed a lucrative new contract at Bayern Munich, according to Sky News. Sky News also reported that Kane is set to be presented with the Ballon d'Or again in front of fans at Wembley.

In comments broadcast by Sky News at an England news conference, Kane said the response to his Ballon d'Or win had been 'incredible from everyone', including Bayern Munich, England and English fans. He described lifting the trophy as 'a magical moment'. He said the caps record was 'definitely up there as the biggest' and showed 'consistency at the highest level'. He added that the milestone was a testament to the dedication and unseen work that kept him fit and healthy.

Kane also said he did not like to put limits on anything. He said England had spoken about reaching 100 goals in the last camp and described that as another incredible milestone to try to reach as soon as possible. He said he would take caps as they come and felt good enough for many more years. He thanked John McDermott, Tottenham's technical director, for his role in his development. He said McDermott saw a player willing to learn and work hard.

Sky News sports correspondent Rob Harris said Kane's 126th cap would take him past Peter Shilton, who set the record in 1990 after a 20-year career. Harris said Kane had scored 91 goals for England, going past Bobby Charlton's long-standing record. He said Kane had made his England debut against Lithuania in March 2015, coming off the bench and scoring after 79 seconds with his third touch. Harris said Kane had since answered those who dismissed him as a one-season wonder.

Sky News reported that Kane's professionalism includes cutting out Haribos and not drinking alcohol during the season, although he had a drink at the Ballon d'Or ceremony. Harris said Kane works with a personal nutritionist, a private doctor who administers electrical neuro functional acupuncture, and fitness coaches. He also pointed to Kane's goals against DR Congo at the World Cup, when he scored twice in the last 15 minutes to help England reach the last 16.
