Kane and able for England?

England manager Roy Hodgson peers down from the directors box at White Hart Lane as Harry Kane once again delivers for Tottenham Hotspur, this time in what is the biggest game in the footballing calender for Spurs.

In front of the home fans, Harry Kane scored twice for Tottenham in the north London derby and notched his 12th Premier League goal this season. Kane running over to the Tottenham faithful in jubilation has become a familiar sight as he has won points for the side on his own.

But, does Harry Kane warrant a call up to the England set up? Hodgson has been casting his eye over the forward for some time this season and Kane's performance against rivals Arsenal may well have put him in contention for England's upcoming European qualifier with Lithuania on the 27th of March.

Kane emerged from the Tottenham youth ranks

"One of our own" chant the Tottenham fans as Kane has repaid the faith placed him since his emergence from the Spurs youth ranks. It was ex-manager Tim Sherwood that first gave Kane his chance to shine and did impress towards the end of the season. However, the forward has really flourished under manager Manuel Pochettino and is now regarded as a key player.

Kane has the ability to hold up the play with his tall frame and be a real handful for defenders. Blessed with a good touch to match, Kane has an eye for goal and despite being just 21 years of age, oozes confidence. 22 goals in total this season is hard for Hodgson to ignore, becoming the top goalscorer in all competitions, pipping the likes of Sergio Aguero and Diego Costa.

Having represented England at U21 level, Kane's objective this year must be to break into the senior side. A call up would cap off what has been an incredible year for the striker.

In what can only be described as a front line lacking depth in goal shy Roberto Soldado and the lackadaisical Emmanual Adebayor, Kane carries the burden as the goal scorer for the side despite his youth. Kane could well challenge for a spot in the England squad but faces a challenge to get ahead of now fit again Daniel Sturridge. 

Kane may well be a useful option off the bench for Hodgson to employ but also faces competition from another emerged striker this season who has been in red hot form, Charlie Austin. Hodgson has watched QPR a few times this season and the striker will certainly deserves to be in contention.

It will be exciting to see who Hodgson brings into the England squad for the upcoming matches. It could be a time for a series of players to make international debuts as the national side enters a transitional period following high profile retirements of players who have been ever present such as Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard and Ashley Cole. Kane he replicate his form for England?
