Tottenham young gun Kane has a 'good arrogance' about him - Newcastle hero Shearer

Harry Kane's presence in the England squad has created plenty of headlines this week as he gets ready for his international debut.

?The Tottenham youngster appears to be English football's new golden boy after tallying a stunning 29 goals in all competitions at club level this term.

?His next test is to take his domestic confidence and repeat the dose for his country which former Three Lions star Shearer feels is well within his capabilities.

?"Yes, there was an arrogance about what Kane said over the weekend about him wanting to play for England now, and not just be part of the squad. But it was a good arrogance," Shearer told BBC Sport.

?"Even before Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge pulled out because of injury, I said that Kane should start against Lithuania in Friday's Euro 2016 qualifier.

?"One of the reasons I think that is because he has got the confidence to go into the England set-up and straightaway believe that he belongs at that level."?
