Declan Rice has backed his England teammate and captain Harry Kane to join the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi in an exclusive club.

Declan Rice has tipped his "insane" teammate Harry Kane to become the first Englishman to score 100 international goals.

Kane's 70th England goal in his 104th appearance came in Friday's 2-0 win over Albania at Wembley, marking the start of Thomas Tuchel's reign.

Rice praised Kane's incredible goal-scoring record, saying:

"He's insane. I've seen him train for so long and play so many games for England. The number of times he's bailed us out with a goal, or scored a hat-trick, or scored a brace.

"He's scored 70 for England. He's an unbelievable guy, a great captain, and I'm sure he's looking at the hundred-mark for England. I think he can get that, for sure."

If Kane achieves this feat, he will join the exclusive club of players who have scored 100 goals for their country, alongside legends like Cristiano Ronaldo (122 goals for Portugal) and Lionel Messi (112 goals for Argentina).
