HARRY KANE does not believe the 2026 World Cup will be his last chance to help the England men’s team end their long wait for silverware.

The England captain’s future with the national team has come under increasing scrutiny, with the 31-year-old surprisingly omitted from the starting line-up from last week’s match in Greece.

However, Kane returned to the side for Lee Carsley’s final game as interim boss on Sunday and scored the opening goal in a 5-0 win over the Republic of Ireland that secured England’s promotion to the top tier of the Nations League.

That extended his all-time England scoring record to 69 goals in 103 appearances and, speaking at the unveiling of a statue of him at Peter May Sports Centre in east London — the home of Kane’s former youth team Ridgeway Rovers — the prolific Bayern Munich striker has no intention of stopping any time soon.

Kane told the PA news agency: “I think there’s a perception when you get to your thirties that you’re coming to an end but for me I’m performing at the highest level I’ve ever performed and feel as good as I’ve ever felt, so it’s about taking in the moment.

“I don’t like to look too far ahead and in my career I never have, the World Cup is going to be exciting.”
