Harry Kane is after yesterday’s overrun of Croatia in the Nations League on Saturday, one game away from Peter Shilton’s record for most games for England with 124 games. – Also this time, Harry Kane did not disappoint with a goal after 8 minutes and another towards the end of the game.
No wonder Harry Kane’s club Bayern Munich is one of the few giants that has no interest in taking advantage of the crisis at Manchester City to sign Erling Braut Haaland.

After the first goal, all the air went out of Croatia, which was played with by England, who let loose completely. – It should not be possible to win 7 – 0 at this level. San Marino Yes, but Croatia no.
There are two things that we have learned with regard to England during the international break. England can win anything because of a sea of strong players, ten despite boring national team manager in Thomas Tuchel and two! – Liverpool legend Trent Alexander-Arnold, who is now at Real Madrid, is definitely back!!
Real Madrid to actively use Jude Bellingham to sign one of his national teammates.
The Three Lions delivered their best game under Thomas Tuchel and put seven goals past Croatia, with Bukayo Saka (2), Harry Kane (2), Anthony Gordon, Bellingham and Morgan Rogers all scoring.

Such a display has put several of the players in the spotlight, and Real Madrid are showing interest in one of Tuchel’s stars ahead of the January window.
Real Madrid want defender Jarell Quansah
Jarell Quansah’s place in England’s starting eleven ahead of Trent Alexander-Arnold was questioned by some supporters ahead of the match.
But the Bayer Leverkusen player justified the selection with an assist for Gordon’s goal just before half-time, while also giving the “Three Lions” solidity on the right side alongside Saka.
Quansah’s excellent performances are what Leverkusen fans have become accustomed to since his arrival from Liverpool in 2025, and surprisingly, other European giants are now following his development.
After leaving Anfield for just €35 million, the 23-year-old has now attracted interest from Real Madrid, who are among the clubs that are following his development closely, according to SportBILD.
It is said that Bellingham could play a crucial role in luring Quansah to the Santiago Bernabéu – just as he did with Alexander-Arnold – but they will have to beat down strong competition for his signature.
Chelsea and Arsenal have already made advances for the versatile Englishman, who Jose Mourinho wants to bring in to play centre-back, although his skill as a right-back makes him an attractive option.
Real Madrid are looking to bolster their centre-back options ahead of January after conceding eight goals in their first seven LaLiga games.
Quansah is seen as a potential upgrade from Raúl Asencio and Antonio Rüdiger, but with his contract at Leverkusen running until June 2030, the Bundesliga giant is in a strong position to negotiate a huge sum for one of his most valuable assets.
What Trent Alexander-Arnold has said about Jarell Quansah
A potential move to Real would see Quansah reunite with Alexander-Arnold, another player who came up through Liverpool’s academy.
The duo shared the pitch on 27 occasions at Anfield, including when Quansah made his Premier League debut against Newcastle United in August 2023.
He came on in the second half and helped Jürgen Klopp’s side to a 2-1 win at St. James’ Park, and Alexander-Arnold was one of the first to praise him for his performance.
“Jarell Quansah, absolutely phenomenal in his first game for us. To come into an atmosphere and an environment like this is extraordinary. And to hold his own in the way he has done is outstanding,” he said at the time.
Currently, Tuchel prefers to start Quansah at right-back ahead of Alexander-Arnold for England, pointing to the latter’s defensive qualities as a reason.
The Bayer Leverkusen star gained the confidence against Spain and Croatia for that reason, while his former Liverpool teammate impressed against the Czech Republic and secured an assist for Gordon.
