However, with Ronaldo's international future in doubt following a falling-out with manager Jorge Jesus, Kane has a clear marker to become the international game's most prolific goalscorer. If he continues his current career scoring average for England, and Ronaldo does not score again for his country, Kane will overtake the former Manchester United forward's tally at the start of the next decade.

Kane currently boasts a goals-per-game ratio of 0.728 for the Three Lions. With 56 goals needed to surpass Ronaldo’s tally, he is projected to require around 77 more games to do so.

England play around 12 to 14 international matches each year, with their schedule becoming increasingly packed towards the end of the decade. They will compete in the UEFA Nations League next year, before hosting Euro 2028 on home soil and then heading to the 2030 FIFA World Cup, which will be jointly hosted by Morocco, Portugal and Spain.

According to projections, Kane is expected to break the record at Euro 2032 in Italy and Turkey. The tournament will run from June 11 until July 11 - just 17 days before Kane's 39th birthday.

As I expect England to be in the final, and win the tournament, Kane will break Ronaldo's international goal record in the final on July 11 against, you guessed it, Portugal. He will lift the trophy and become the most prolific international striker of the modern era.
