Harry Kane aims to emulate Ronaldo

Kane, who recently turned 31, is reaching a crucial point in his career and sees himself performing at the levels of Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, and Lionel Messi.

"Cristiano is the benchmark, not only being one of the best footballers ever, but also the benchmark of how long you can play for at a higher level," Kane said via 90min.

“The Ronaldo's, the Messi's, the Benzemas, the Lewandowski's, almost upped their level as they got into their mid-thirties. Cristiano is showing that every week, every time he plays, every time he scores so, from my point of view, that's the aim.”

Kane was incredible in his first season with Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga. He finished as the top scorer with 36 goals and took home the European Golden Shoe.
