“I don’t like to look too far ahead and in my career I have never done so. [2026] The World Cup is going to be exciting.
“In the United States it will be an incredible occasion and ultimately it’s about trying to win, looking at where you are, where to improve and it won’t be any different in a couple of years.”
Kane was speaking at the unveiling of a statue and mural of him at the Peter May Sports Center in east London, where he started playing as a five-year-old for Ridgeway Rovers.
“It’s pretty special to be honest,” Kane told BBC Newsround.
“I played on these pitches when I was five and dreamed of playing for England, and I’ve been lucky enough to achieve that.
“I hope that boys and girls will stop by and be inspired by the story of my journey, my life and my hard work.”
Asked what it would take to have a statue of him at Wembley Stadium, he added: “I think we need to win a major tournament.”
England will look to do so under Thomas Tuchel, who will begin his 18-month contract as manager on January 1 after Carsley’s temporary spell.
Kane played under Tuchel at Bayern last season and is confident the German can end the Three Lions’ trophy drought.
“He’s a fantastic coach and also a very good guy,” he said. “I’m excited to work with him again.
“I know he will bring a lot of energy and, in March, we will be focused on the United States and the World Cup, and that is an exciting prospect to look forward to.”
England will find out their World Cup qualifying opponents on December 13, with the first matches scheduled for March.
