England captain Harry Kane warns world: My confidence is sky high

Tottenham striker Harry Kane says he feels at the top of his game in Russia.

The England captain has 13 goals in his last nine matches for club and country. And with five to his name already in Russia, he is firmly in the race to win the Golden Boot.

The Tottenham striker stated: “My confidence is sky high. That's 100 per cent the case. I think I am going to score every time I am on the pitch.

“That's especially the case when balls are just dropping in for you and things are going for you. You can't wait to get out there.

“You feel you are going to get chances and that feeling helps you find chances.

“I'm ready for everything, whether it is a penalty, a set-piece or anything. I try to practise different situations and make sure I am ready for anything that comes.

“You just want to be on the pitch because you know a chance will come.

“But the gaffer spoke to me and said the Belgium match was a chance to use fresh legs. You don't always get that in a tournament and it means I'll be ready to go on Tuesday.

“I am confident I can pick up where I left off because in my last match I scored a hat-trick.

“That's how I look at it. If I had played against Belgium and hadn't scored, maybe I'd be thinking, 'I didn't score in my last match'.

“Instead my thinking is that I am going into this match off the back of a hat-trick. The run I am on is great.

“It was good to finish the season strongly as I wanted to take that momentum into the internationals."
