Tottenham Hotspur's Harry Kane hopes to "impress" England boss Gareth Southgate

Harry Kane says that he wants to "impress" England interim boss Gareth Southgate in order to earn a starting spot against Scotland at Wembley.

Harry Kane has claimed that he wants to "impress" England interim boss Gareth Southgate in order to regain a regular spot in the team.

The Tottenham Hotspur striker missed Southgate's previous two games in charge due to an ankle injury that he suffered while playing for his club.

The 23-year-old spent six weeks on the sidelines, and marked his return to action with a goal in Sunday's 1-1 draw with Arsenal at the Emirates in the Premier League.

Southgate was handed the England job on a temporary basis following Sam Allardyce's departure, and after overseeing one win and one draw, the 46-year-old will guide the team into a World Cup qualifier against Scotland and a friendly with Spain before the Football Association considers a permanent appointment.

Kane may have only just returned from injury, but the forward, who failed to score at Euro 2016, is confident that he is fit enough to lead the line for the Three Lions.

"Whenever a new manager comes in you want to be there and try to impress him," Kane told reporters in a press conference. "I worked with the gaffer with the Under-21s so we know each other quite well. It's great to be back and be working with him again. I want to impress him, I want to try and get in the team and fight for a place in this team. All I can do is try and do that in training.

"To be back for Spurs and back involved with England is special meeting up. I missed the last trip which was hard to take but the ankle feels good now and I feel fit and it's great to be back involved."

England will face Scotland at Wembley on November 11.
