​Tottenham forward Kane relaxed over England World Cup group opponents

Tottenham striker Harry Kane insists England are unconcerned over who they will face ahead of this week's World Cup draw in Russia.

"I'm not one to really think about trying to avoid teams," the striker told FIFA.com. "If you want to win a big tournament, you're going to have to play the best teams sooner or later.

"We're positive, but we're not getting too ahead of ourselves. We know we've still got a lot of work to do and we've got some great friendly games coming up between now and the finals.

"It's a great feeling to qualify. It'll be my first World Cup, I'm really excited about that, so it's just about focusing on the games ahead and looking forward to the finals."
