Bellingham pays tribute to Kane after England record milestone

Bellingham has paid tribute to Kane, whose performances for England are reaching historic heights. The striker has equalled Peter Shilton’s record of 125 international appearances. He now has 91 goals for the Three Lions, extending his lead over the team’s previous top scorers.

After the match against the Czech Republic, Jude Bellingham heaped praise on Kane. “I can only speak from my perspective and, above all, he is an incredible person. As a captain and as a man, he cares about absolutely everyone. He is the one who takes responsibility off the pitch. And on the pitch, he is the best English player to have worn this shirt. It is an honour to play with him,” he said on ITV.

Jude also highlighted the breadth of Kane’s game: “He is playing at an unmatched level. He scores with astonishing ease, drops deep to receive the ball, threads passes through and contributes in every area of the game. He makes tackles; he does everything. And on top of that, he keeps improving.”

Kane, for his part, said: “I have just finished my best season and now I feel even better. I’m not going to stop. I’ll keep working hard and see how far I can go. Maybe in about 10 years we’ll see where my limit is.” He has scored six goals in the Nations League and is among the favourites for the Ballon d’Or, which will be presented in London in two weeks.
