Tottenham striker Kane targets England U19 glory

Tottenham striker Harry Kane has won a call up to the England U19 squad.

The Young Lions compete in the Elite Qualifying Round of the UEFA U19 Championship with matches against Slovenia at Preston's Deepdale tonight, Montenegro at Rochdale's Spotland on Sunday then back to Preston for Switzerland on Wednesday.

"The main thing is that we qualify for the finals and if I can score a couple of goals along the way, that would be great, a perfect end to the season," Kane told the Spurs website.

"I think they will be three different types of games. Slovenia will press us high and they've a few decent players who can punish us if we don't stick to our game plan.

"I think Montenegro will line-up with plenty of men behind the ball and look to hit us on the counter-attack.

"We then finish against Switzerland and they are a good technical side, like us. I'm sure they will go for a win as well, so that will be a decent match.

"It's always good experience to play international football and to see what level you are compared to other countries."
