Tottenham target James Maddison reacts after Harry Kane breaks England goal record.
Tottenham transfer target James Maddison has reacted after Spurs talisman Harry Kane broke the England goal record last night.
Kane netted his 54th goal for his country from the penalty spot as the Three Lions kicked off their Euro 2024 qualification campaign with a 2-1 win in Italy.
The England captain banished some of the ghosts of his World Cup quarter-final penalty miss in his previous game in a Three Lions shirt.
Maddison was an unused substitute in Naples as his wait continues for a second international cap, and he has been linked with a £60 million summer move to Spurs.
After the game, Kane took to Instagram to celebrate his historic achievement, which takes him past Wayne Rooney and out on his own at the top of the scoring charts.
There were plenty of big names in the comments offering their congratulations, including teammates at club and international level.
Maddison had a four-word message for the England number nine, who he will hope to get opportunities to play alongside more for England.
Spurs fans may well be hoping that the pair are club and international teammates once the summer transfer window closes.
But both men have their future up in the air, as their dwindling contract situations will come to a head when the season ends.
Maddison is clearly a big fan of Kane and the playmaker could be the exact kind of creative force any new Spurs manager needs to get even more goals for the striker.
That is all to come, but for now, Kane can bask in the glow of an amazing achievements and take the deserved accolades.

Jamie O’Hara was quick to send a message to Tottenham Hotspur after hearing that Bayern Munich were about to sack Julian Nagelsmann last night.
Spurs are in a difficult managerial situation themselves. Antonio Conte’s explosive press conference following the Southampton game last weekend has put his job at risk, and there’s a good chance he’ll face the sack in the coming days.
Tottenham will need a top-quality replacement, and Nagelsmann would be an extraordinary appointment.
Fabrizio Romano broke the news last night that Bayern Munich are set to sack Nagelsmann immediately.
The German giants aren’t too pleased with the 35-year-old, even though the club are just a point off the top of the table and are in the quarter-final of the Champions League.
Thomas Tuchel, a managerial target for Tottenham, is set to replace him, and O’Hara believes the best thing Daniel Levy could do now is pick up his phone, call Nagelsmann and offer him the Spurs job.
The Tottenham-supporting pundit tweeted: “Nagelsmann sacked by Bayern, Spurs should get straight on the phone to him.”
At the time of writing, Nagelsmann hasn’t officially been relieved of his duties yet.
If Nagelsmann is available and is open to the Tottenham job, Levy should go and get him.
The 35-year-old German is among the best managers in Europe. His Bayern side have played eight times in the Champions League this season and have kept seven clean sheets. Six of those came home and away against Inter Milan, Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain.
Nagelsmann, who won the Bundesliga last season, would be a brilliant appointment to most clubs in world football. He is a fantastic manager.
However, whether Spurs will go after him now remains to be seen.
