Rishi Sunak video calls ‘all-time great’ Harry Kane as he becomes England’s top goal-scorer

Rishi Sunak has been seen video calling with Harry Kane to congratulate the 'all-time great' for becoming England's record goal-scorer.

Kane netted his 54th international goal when England took on Italy on Friday (24 March), knocking Wayne Rooney off the top spot.

“You’re a phenomenal captain, a phenomenal role model, and the entire country is very proud of you and lucky to have you", Sunak told the forward.
