Tottenham Hotspur star player and England Captain Harry Kane is upbeat about winning the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

England have a youthful squad amid low expectations from the public, but captain Harry Kane still believes the team will return from Russia with the prestigious cup.

Manager Gareth Southgate has picked a relatively inexperienced group of players for the tournament where they will face Tunisia, Belgium and Panama in Group G.

England have not won the World Cup since 1966 and the pressure that comes from high expectations has hampered them in recent competitions but nonetheless Kane thinks a triumph is possible.

“I believe we can win it. Anyone can. I can’t say we’re not going to win it, because we could. I want to win everything I do. It’s my mind-set. So do the players,” Kane told British media.

“That’s what we’re going to try and do. There are some really good teams there. We’re going to fight and give everything we’ve got,” added the Tottenham Hotspur forward.

At 24, Kane will be England’s youngest World Cup captain.
