Kane says England can win Nations League

Tottenham striker Harry Kane says England can win the Nations League this summer.

The Three Lions face the Netherlands in June's Nations League last four, with the winners then meeting either Portugal or Switzerland in the final.

"To have a chance to win a trophy in an England shirt does not happen not very often," said the Tottenham striker.

"If we win that trophy, in my eyes, it's a better year than 2018."

Kane, who won the golden boot for being the tournament's top scorer with six goals, added: "Hopefully, we can win some silverware. Of course, 2018 was fantastic but for me, the main thing is the team and we want to win things. We want to make fans happy and be proud.

"People now expect us to do well and before the World Cup there was no expectation, so it's great that we've turned that around.

"We're the only team from the World Cup semi-finals to have got through their Nations League group, and we had probably one of the hardest groups.

"That was big for us, to prove that it wasn't just a one-off, that this team were really building for something special."
