Harry Kane told Cristiano Ronaldo-inspired dream is ‘pushing it’ – with legendary ex-England striker predicting how long record-breaking Bayern Munich star will continue

The 31-year-old frontman has stated his desire to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/revealed-how-lionel-messi-cristiano-ronaldo-inspiring-harry-kane-record-100m-bayern-munich-striker-years-left/blt4bc614e42c4fc90b" target="_blank">follow in the illustrious footsteps of all-time greats Ronaldo and Lionel Messi</a> by playing on towards, and potentially into, his 40s. Kane’s game has never been about blistering pace or boundless energy, so steering clear of serious injury <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/harry-kane-ambitious-england-target-100th-cap-bayern-munich-striker-desire-emulate-lionel-messi-cristiano-ronaldo/blt5e7389585e1d630e" target="_blank">should allow him to continue down that path</a>.

WHAT HAPPENED?

He has already rewritten the history books in his career to date, becoming the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/harry-kane-100-goals-england-record-breaking-tottenham-striker-challenge/blt648bc3789e96f4bf" target="_blank">all-time leading goalscorer for Tottenham and England</a>. His international tally for the Three Lions was taken to 68 when bagging a brace on the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/100-caps-harry-kane-wife-kate-reveals-why-england-celebrations-wembley/blt63bb07675ed0e587" target="_blank">occasion of his 100th cap</a> in a UEFA Nations League clash with Finland.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Kane is captain of his country and a talismanic presence for Bayern Munich – as he <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/main-goal-win-titles-harry-kane-tired-trophy-wait-bayern-munich-striker-ambitious-targets-2024-25/blt1abf563f9ab981c8" target="_blank">chases down elusive major silverware with both</a> – but Shearer cannot see him staying at the top for the best part of another decade. The legendary ex-England striker has told <a href="https://www.betfair.com/betting/football/english-premier-league/c-10932509 " target="_blank">Betfair</a>: “I know Harry spoke about wanting to emulate Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored more goals last week at the age of 39, but seven or eight more years might be pushing it. I know Ronaldo still scores goals but whether Kane can remains to be seen. Having said that, I do see Harry playing for another three or four years and I think the key is to get runners and to get pace in and around him.“England had that, with [Anthony] Gordon and with [Bukayo] Saka, and Kane has proven that there's no one better for England than him when it comes to creating chances and putting the ball in the back of the net. His record is phenomenal and whenever he's played, especially for England, he’s never let anyone down. He got his 100th cap and another two goals to end a fantastic night. I think he can go on for another three or four years playing at that level without a doubt.”

WHAT SHEARER SAID

Kane, who is <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/exactly-what-happened-bayern-munich-told-why-100m-harry-kane-transfer-unnecessary-ai-expert-prediction-comes-true/blt2b30644e013f3606" target="_blank">tied to a contract at Bayern through to 2027</a>, made his senior international debut for England back in 2015. He scored on his Three Lions bow against Lithuania and has gone on to claim World Cup and European Championship Golden Boots.
