England star Harry Kane: 'Being captain will not change how I play'

Harry Kane says that his game does not change when he pulls on the captain's armband as he prepares to skipper England in Thursday's World Cup qualifier against Slovenia.

England and Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane has insisted that wearing the captain's armband does not affect his playing style.

The 24-year-old has been named skipper for England's World Cup qualifier against Slovenia at Wembley on Thursday.

It will be the third time that Kane has led his country, but he has not been given the responsibility on a permanent basis as manager Gareth Southgate is undecided on whether to appoint a full-time successor to Wayne Rooney, who retired from international duty last month.

"It makes me very proud, growing up as a kid you dream of playing of your country and being captain as well," Kane told reporters in his pre-match press conference. "There are plenty of leaders in this team and other guys are going to have a go to see how it feels.

"I don't think having an armband on your arm makes a difference to how you play. I will go out there to try and win and score goals. There are plenty of players on the pitch who will help each other out when the going gets tough as well."

The forward has netted 13 goals for club and country in September alone.
