The former England striker highlighted his compatriot’s evolution throughout his career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wayne Rooney praised Harry Kane’s<\/strong> transformation throughout his career, classifying the striker’s evolution as \u201cremarkable\u201d and comparable to Cristiano Ronaldo’s<\/a> development during his early career at Manchester United. For the former England<\/a> captain, Kane is already among the greatest names in the national team’s history, backed by his overall goalscoring record and consistently high performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At 30 years old, the Bayern Munich<\/a> striker is experiencing a highly productive spell in his career. He has scored 44 goals in 45 matches<\/strong> for the German club in his debut season. For the England<\/a> national team, he remains the absolute leader: he has 63 goals in 90 games<\/strong>, setting new records and keeping England<\/a> in a strong position for future competitions, including the 2026 World Cup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rooney, appearing on ‘The Overlap’ program, suggested Kane has the potential to surpass the records of England icons such as Peter Shilton<\/strong>, Bobby Charlton<\/strong>, Bobby Moore<\/strong>, Gary Lineker<\/strong>, and Alan Shearer<\/strong>. In his opinion, the striker’s confidence and insistence on finishing from challenging angles are reminiscent of Cristiano Ronaldo’s<\/a> style early in his career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Former defender Jamie Carragher<\/strong> also highlighted the current form of the Bayern Munich<\/a> striker. According to Carragher, Kane is still underrated, despite achieving statistics comparable to those of Lionel Messi<\/a> and Cristiano Ronaldo<\/a> in recent years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kane, therefore, is increasingly cementing his status among the elite players today, both in English football and globally.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
