Harry Kane is confident of retaining his place in the Tottenham Hotspur starting line-up, and has set himself a target of 20 goals for the season.
The 21-year-old has been in fine form so far this term, with ten goals in his last 15 appearances for Spurs.
He has also been potent on the international stage, netting five times in six appearances for Gareth Southgate's England Under-21s side.
And following his recent hot streak, Kane is determined to maintain the momentum for the remainder of the season.
"The next target is 20 goals: obviously I'm on 14 now so it's six more to go," he said.
"I'm just trying to do my best for the team and to get on the scoresheet.
"I think I can do that, I've been given the chance this season and I'm moving in the right direction.
Harry Kane has scored five times for England Under-21s this season
"I've been doing the right things at the minute but there's still a long way and a lot of games to go this season, so hopefully I can keep playing and keep scoring.
"Sometimes young English players that come through the ranks don't always get the chance at the top level, but I've been fortunate to get this chance.
"It proves that you don't always have to buy players, there are players that are homegrown that are ready to prove themselves.
"It's good to have Ade [Adebayor] back, a top striker, he's training well and I'm sure when called upon he'll be ready."
A product of the Tottenham academy, and a supporter of the club since childhood, Kane grew up idolising Teddy Sheringham and singing his name from the stands.
And he says to hear the White Hart Lane faithful now chanting his name is a moving experience.
“Harry is a typical English player - he is a striker, a strong character, he works hard and he has quality”

"To hear them sing my name when I come onto the pitch, it makes me quite emotional," added Kane.
"I was a fan once singing Teddy Sheringham and Robbie Keane's name.
"It definitely helps, it can only spur you on, you want to do your best for the fans."
Kane's impressive form has also drawn praise from his manager Mauricio Pochettino, who says he is delighted to see a young English player prospering in the Premier League.
"Harry is a typical English player - he is a striker, a strong character, he works hard and he has quality," said Pochettino.
"We are enjoying having these young talents and maybe it is our skill that we are developing this type of young player.
"We are pleased to develop players for the national team. In England we are in a difficult period – English football at the moment needs to believe in its young talent.
"We can only help the young talent in England because I think this is our responsibility.
"When you are a manager and you arrive in a new country, you have try to help the young talent at the club and give them the right conditions to work."
Next up for Kane and Spurs is a Boxing Day trip to Leicester City, before they welcome Manchester United to White Hart Lane two days later.
