Harry Kane has claimed he would "swap everything" in his career so far to help England win Euro 2024 by beating Spain in Sunday's final.

The Bayern Munich striker is one of the best finishers of his generation but is yet to win a team trophy at 30 years of age despite becoming Tottenham Hotspur's all-time leading goalscorer and moving to Germany last year.

Having finished as a runner-up in the Champions League and European Championship in the past, Kane says he is determined to go one better this time and help the Three Lions win just their second ever major international trophy.

In England's final press conference before Sunday's fixture, he said: "It's no secret I haven't won a team trophy and every year that goes by, I'm more motivated to change that.

"Tomorrow night, I have the chance to win one of the biggest you could ever win and make history with my nation.

"No question I'd swap everything I've done in my career to have a special night and a win tomorrow evening.

"It would mean everything. It would be the most incredible feeling as a professional footballer and I'm sure also for the fans to have that moment in history and to be able to celebrate would be something very special.

"It was a tough finish in the last Euros so there's that extra hunger and fire in the belly to make sure this one goes our way, but we also know it's going to be an extremely tough night.

"Like the boss said, it's going to come down to small details, which we've been able to get right throughout the whole tournament so far. We're going to need that and even more in tomorrow's final."

Despite attracting criticism throughout the tournament, Kane could end up as Euro 2024's top goalscorer if he can help England beat Spain. He's scored three goals so far and is level with five other players, including La Roja's Dani Olmo.
