Tottenham and England striker Harry Kane says he is motivated by a desire to emulate Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
Real Madrid's Ronaldo and Barcelona forward Messi, who have won the last nine Ballon d'Or crowns between them, have redefined goal scoring in the last decade but Kane's own statistics, particularly in this calendar year, are comparable to those of the La Liga legends.
Since the 24-year-old broke through at Tottenham in 2014-15, he has scored 79 league goals in 108 matches, twice winning the Premier League Golden Boot. In the same period, Messi has 115 in 111 and Ronaldo 108 in 102.
