Harry Kane has reached a major milestone in his international career, equalling Peter Shilton’s record as England’s most-capped player. The 33-year-old captain earns his 125th appearance for the Three Lions today, starting the Nations League fixture against the Czech Republic at Wembley Stadium.

Reflecting on the achievement, England manager Thomas Tuchel expressed his admiration for the striker, who remains a contender for the Ballon d’Or. “I’m not sure I have anymore words,” Tuchel stated. “Everything he does, he does at the highest level, consecutively. He will be the one leading the team out to the training pitch and during the warm-up, never taking a step less or slower. Since he assumed this major role at Bayern Munich, he has found a new level both on and off the pitch.” We’ve spoken so often about him and I try to find new words which then make no sense. With some high-profile deals due to expire at the end of next month.As speculation, predicting which clubs the summer’s biggest free agents will sign for There are still some massive names who are set to become free agents in the summer.

Kane first debuted for his country in March 2015 against Lithuania at age 21, marking the occasion with his first international goal. He currently holds a total of 89 goals for England and is aiming to move closer to the 100-goal threshold, having already netted four times in the opening three games of this international window. When he scored the first of his many goals for the national team, kane’s bow came against Lithuania in March 2015 aged 21.

The England side features four changes following their 7-0 victory over Croatia on Saturday. Trent Alexander-Arnold returns to the starting lineup at right-back for his first Wembley appearance in two years. Jarell Quansah transitions into central defense to cover for the injured Ezri Konsa, while Myles Lewis-Skelly earns his third start of the current camp, stepping in for the injured Alex Scott. Additionally, Morgan Rogers and Eberechi Eze replace Anthony Gordon and Bukayo Saka in the attacking positions. The 33-year-old will join Peter Shilton on 125 appearances as he captains a side featuring four changes from the 7-0 win over Croatia on Saturday.
