English Football Star Harry Kane Dismisses Suggestion of Retirement Before 2026 World Cup

In an exclusive interview with the Press Association, England captain Harry Kane has dismissed suggestions that the 2026 World Cup should be his international swansong, instead stating he is performing at his highest ever level.

Kane, 31, expressed confidence in his abilities as he unwaveringly reiterated his desire to win football's greatest prize, especially considering his current form on both personal and club levels. Notably, Kane has scored 20 times for club and country this season, with many pundits praising the consistency of performances from his past few months.

While Tuchel will be taking over as England manager in January, with Thomas taking his first match not until World Cup qualifiers begin in March's international break. His counterpart on the pitch Lee Carsley recently guided the Three Lions to promotion from the National League B after coming five wins away.

"I don't like to look too far ahead, Tuchel has a great record and vast experience, so I am looking to him we can make more progress together in the coming year," Kane stated during the unveiling of that new youth team statue where he was nurtured. He also wished to be part of making England finally win their first World Cup title since 1966.

The former youth footballer remains determined. "We need to do this", said Kane, with an added passion expressing his desire over and above all else and the desire to add to a trophy that would see him joining other legends who have achieved greatness at the prestigious tournament.
