'I know my ambitions' - Kane wants permanent England captaincy

The Spurs forward has set his sights on the Three Lions captaincy now that Wayne Rooney's international career has stumbled

Harry Kane is keen to become the permanent England captain after wearing the armband for the first time in the dramatic 2-2 World Cup qualifying draw with Scotland at the weekend.

Gareth Southgate is looking to name a new skipper now that Wayne Rooney's international career is seemingly winding down, and Kane staked his claim by rescuing a point for the Three Lions with a stoppage-time equaliser at Hampden Park on Saturday.

The Tottenham striker, who has topped the Premier League scoring charts for the past two seasons, is hopeful he will be selected as the new main man for England.
