England legend Wayne Rooney believes it is only a matter of time until Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane breaks his goal-scoring record for the Three Lions.
The former Manchester United and Everton forward retired from the international scene with a tally of 53 goals for his nation, breaking the long-standing record of 49 held by Sir Bobby Charlton.
Kane is giving him a run for his money though, as the 26-year-old has now scored 26 times for his nation - including a hat-trick in the recent victory against Bulgaria.
While it took 45 years for a new name to sit top of England's scoring charts, Rooney doesn't believe he will hold the record for too much longer and has made a bold prediction on when Kane will write his name in the history books.
"I never take goals for granted, I love scoring them. Once I got to 35 for England, I could feel the record getting close," he told the Wayne Rooney Podcast.
"I don't think it'll stand for 50 years like Bobby Charlton's, I think Harry Kane, possible in the next two or three years will. He's a fantastic goalscorer and his record for England is fantastic.
"When I got the record and then went back for my last game, I said it would be an honour to go and present him like Bobby Charlton presented me with the golden boot and I'm sure it won't be before too long."
