Harry Kane focusing on Tottenham despite England call-up talk

Harry Kane has said he is putting his "dream" of playing for England to the back of his mind as he focuses on helping his club Tottenham.

Saturday's brace in Spurs' 2-1 win at QPR increased Kane's goal tally to 26 in all competitions -- a haul which could earn him a first senior call-up this month.

England boss Roy Hodgson was in attendance at Loftus Road, but striker Kane is trying not to think about the potential opportunity of facing Lithuania or Italy this month.

"I've always said, I've got to keep doing what I am doing," he said. "There are still a few more games until the international break and I want to do the best I can for Tottenham Hotspur.

"That's what I am looking to do. I want to get some more wins from [now] until then and, yeah, we'll see what happens. Obviously, I've just got to keep doing what I am doing.

"I think any English player playing would love to play for England. It would be a dream but there are a lot of great players in England.

"I just have to keep concentrating and doing the best I can for Spurs. We'll see what happens."

That determination to continue impressing at club level is certainly helping Spurs get over a disappointing few weeks.

The north Londoners' Europa League exit was compounded by defeat to Chelsea in the Capital One Cup final, but they responded impressively with back-to-back victories over Swansea and QPR.

"That is massive," Kane told Sky Sports. "That is what we said.

"We had a disappointing couple of weeks, going out of the Europa and obviously losing the final, so we knew we had to get back on it, build a bit of momentum and get as far up in the league as we can.

"We have managed to do that with two very important wins and hopefully we can continue it."
