Kane Sets Sights on 100 England Goals After Matching Record Caps
National Team·October 8, 2026
Harry Kane has equalled England's all-time appearance record of 125 caps, and the striker is already looking further ahead. Asked about what comes next, Kane said he believes he can reach 100 international goals, a target that would place him among the most prolific scorers the national team has ever produced.
The landmark draws Kane level with Peter Shilton, the goalkeeper who had held the mark for decades. Matching a record that stood for so long is a reminder of how consistently Kane has been available for England across several managerial eras, and of how central he has become to the side's attack.
Team-mates were quick to pay tribute. Morgan Rogers and Jude Bellingham both spoke highly of Kane, praising his influence on the squad and the standards he sets for those around him. For a group that is building its identity around younger players, those comments carry weight.
Kane's ambition is what stands out most. A century of goals would be a significant mark for any England player, and it gives the striker a clear benchmark as he continues adding to his tally. Whether he can close that gap will depend on fitness, form and how the team uses him in the seasons ahead, but his own words suggest he has not finished yet.
