​Tottenham striker Kane has ambitions to be England captain

Harry Kane is eager to prove his leadership credentials for England when he makes his expected return to the side against Scotland on Saturday.

"I see myself as one of the leaders now in the team and I'm looking forward to it," he said at a school event in Walthamstow.

"I'm only 23 but I feel that there are a lot of younger players in the team compared to me and I have a good relationship with them. I have a good relationship with all the players, the older, the younger and there are quite a few Spurs boys in there as well.

"It helps as we play with each other, train with each other day in, day out so we know each other very well on the pitch but off the pitch also. If someone is feeling a bit down, or if they're not quite right then we are there to know that and help them out."
