England captain Harry Kane can't wait to start his World Cup 2018 audition

Tottenham Hotspur and England national team star Harry Kane is determined to “Show the world what I’ve got” as he gets ready for the biggest challenge of his career, according to Mirror Football. “Four years ago, I was watching it on holiday,” said Kane. “I played the last six or seven games of the Premier League season under Tim Sherwood. Mauricio Pochettino came in that summer and got me fit, in better shape and more powerful. I kicked on from there. “A lot of hard work and determination, players ahead of me at the time. I had to work hard on the training pitch and take the opportunities when they came. “The last few years I’ve proved (myself) and now I’m here, and can’t wait to get out there and show the world what I’ve got. “I’ve been scoring a few more goals in training (since getting the armband), perhaps. I’m proud to be England captain and excited to get going now. Hopefully, I’ll continue scoring more goals into this World Cup, for sure. “Obviously I see a few of the jokes going around on social media. It is what it is. "I’ve got a lot of scoring trophies in my career. I’d like to be sitting here with a big gold one in a few weeks. It’s all fun and games on social media.” Kane added: “The team we’ve got, we’re all very close. We’ve done a lot of stuff for the fans, a lot of live stuff and social media to show what we’re up to. But it’s about doing it on the pitch. That’s what makes the fans happy. "But while we have free time, it’s important to let the fans and the public know what we’re up to. “Everyone, I’m sure, will have some words to say. For me, it’s just about concentrating on your job. Every player does their job to the best of their ability I’m sure we’ll do pretty well. It’s about staying focused. “For me, and the other players recognising if things aren’t going well, can you pick players up, help them along. "There’re going to be times against Tunisia, and in all the games, where there will be highs and lows. It’s all about controlling that and managing that and making sure we have the best outcome possible.”
