Harry Kane has said winning a major trophy with England is his “biggest dream” as the Ballon d’Or winner prepares to become the country’s most-capped player.
The England captain will earn his 126th cap against Croatia in the UEFA Nations League at Wembley tonight, a record that comes only weeks after he was named the best player in the world.

Kane went 10 full seasons in Tottenham’s first team without lifting silverware, but has since won back-to-back Bundesliga titles and a German Cup atBayern Munich.
Now his focus is on the trophies still missing from his collection. In an interview withBILD, Kane set himself a five-year target: he would like “to have won the Champions League with Bayern at least once”, “and also a trophy with England”.
‘That’s what motivates me’
Asked at Wednesday’s press conference what comes next, Kane admitted the barren years earlier in his career had been hard to take.
“It was tough in those moments when you feel you’re performing well and putting up great numbers but not winning the team trophies which is ultimately what you’re playing for,” he said.

“Individual accolades are incredible and things I’m proud of but ultimately they’re a consequence of trying to make the team better and trying to win something with the team.”
“With Bayern Munich, it’s trying to win theChampions League. There are many trophies I haven’t won and that’s what motivates me.”
“I’m surrounded by great teams with both club and country so hopefully it’s an exciting time ahead.
‘To win a team trophy with England, a major trophy, is my biggest dream’
“To win a team trophy with England, a major trophy, is my biggest dream. That’s always been my biggest dream, to win a European Championship or a World Cup, or both, hopefully, but I know how difficult that is. Extremely motivated to do that.”
