Harry Kane has insisted he is keen to emulate Cristiano Ronaldo's staying power after the Portuguese icon scored his 901st career goal at the age of 39 at the weekend.
The England captain is on the verge of winning his 100th cap and is already the nation's highest-ever goalscorer on 66.
And the Bayern Munich star believes he can keep going for several more years - just like Ronaldo.
"I feel in really good shape, both physically and mentally, at a peak in my career," he said ahead of England's clash against Finland on Tuesday.

"Watching other players, [Cristiano] Ronaldo scoring his 901st goal, seeing him compete at 39 years old inspires me to play for as long as possible
"I love this game, I love representing England - more than anything and I don’t want it to end any time soon.
"For me, personally, now it’s about continuing to improve and being consistent both in an England shirt and at club level.
"I’m hungry for more. I’m determined to keep pushing the boundaries."
Ronaldo scored the 901st goal of his career on Sunday as Portugal narrowly beat Scotland with a last-gasp winner from the five-time Ballon d'Or winner.

Scott McTominay had opened the scoring before his former Manchester United team-mate Bruno Fernandes equalised at the Estadio da Luz before Ronaldo broke Scottish hearts.
Now at Al-Nassr, Ronaldo has played for United, Real Madrid and Juventus and has accumulated a whopping 901 goals across his career - more than anyone else.
Kane might not be catching him up anytime soon on 342 but he is already arguably England's greatest striker with his goal tally - but becoming the latest centurion for the country is all that is on his mind right now.

"It is really special [playing 100 times for England]," the 31-year-old said.
"I always say it is sometimes hard to sink in when you are playing. I spoke previously about that with the goalscoring record, but this one I am extremely proud of.

"It is something I am really excited for, my family will be there to enjoy the moment as well and it is a moment I am sure when I am retired I will look back on."
Only nine players have made over 100 caps for the Three Lions including record-holder Peter Shilton (120), Wayne Rooney (120) and David Beckham (115).
However, Kane will be the quickest to reach the milestone - should he play on Tuesday night against Finland - having made his debut in March 2015.
