Spurs hero Kane hoping for England start against Italy

Tottenham striker Harry Kane hopes to start for England in their friendly against Italy.

Kane scored on debut in their Euro 2016 qualifying win over Lithuania.

"This is where I want to be, playing for England and scoring goals," Kane said.

"It's my first taste of it and I loved it and hopefully I can keep doing well for club and country and see where it takes us."

Danny Welbeck's withdrawal through injury increased Kane's chances of starting against Italy in Turin.

And the striker is ready to answer Hodgson's call if needed.

"That's down to the boss, but I'll be ready, raring to go if called upon. I will be looking forward to it," Kane said.

"The lads have picked up some really good results home and away. We continued that against Lithuania and now we have a tough game coming up, but we are full of confidence."
