Tottenham star Harry Kane has indicated that he is ready and willing to take on the England captaincy on a regular and permanent basis.
The 24 year old was given the captains armband by Gareth Southgate for the Three Lions matches against Scotland and France at the end of last season.
Southgate has however yet to appoint a permanent captain and opted to give Jordan Henderson the duties for the teams most recent fixtures. Henderson could be the favorite to land the captaincy permanently in the near future as he has more experience with the armband and serves as Liverpool captain.
Kane is now one of England’s most respected players World-wide after establishing himself as one of the planet’s most lethal strikers.
He has recently indicated that he will be willing to captain England permanently in the future and said, “I’ve had the armband and it was a very proud moment. I feel like one of the leaders in the team. But Gareth Southgate has said he is going to take his time and we do have plenty of leaders.
“My focus has to be on scoring goals and continuing this form into October. That’s the most important thing – do your talking on the pitch. Whoever Gareth picks as captain, the team will get behind him.
“We have still not qualified and we have to win the game on Thursday [against Slovenia], and that makes it easier on Sunday [against Lithuania].”
