The Tottenham man has netted five in two games to lead the Golden Boot standings, to the delight of his Three Lions boss
Gareth Southgate lavished praise on hat-trick hero Harry Kane after England's 6-1 win over Panama and suggested that the striker would be given the opportunity to add to his World Cup goal tally against Belgium.
Two wins from two Group G games put England through to the last 16 in Russia and left Southgate with the option to rest key players in his side's final group game on Thursday.
But the Three Lions boss spoke repeatedly about the importance of harmony within his team and, though he didn't rule out changes in personnel against Roberto Martinez's side, he implied that the core of his winning team would remain intact.
