Roy Hodgson is confident in Harry Kane 's ability to shine for England , it is just a case of whether there is space for him in the upcoming squad . This has been quite the season for the 21-year-old , whose 24 goals in all competitions is far and away the best tally from any English striker this term . That form has impressed Three Lions boss Hodgson , who has strongly hinted recently that Kane will earn a first senior call-up in two weeks ' time . England manager Roy Hodgson is open to the possibility of calling up Tottenham striker Harry Kane . The Spurs front man has is a regular in the England Under 21 set up and has been in great form for his club . Kane was far from his best in the Capital One Cup final but Hodgson said he thinks the striker is 'ready ' It is not just the Spurs man vying for a striking berth , though , with a number of other in-form , uncapped players hoping to be involved against Lithuania and Italy . Saido Berahino , Danny Ings and Charlie Austin have all impressed for their clubs this season - but it is Kane who is the main talking point . 'He 's in my thoughts of course , he deserves to be , ' Hodgson said , speaking at the London Football Awards , which raises funds for national charity , Willow . 'He 's scoring goals for one of our top teams in the Premier League but I know him anyway , he 's done a lot of good work for the Under-21s . Burnley striker Danny Ings ( right ) is among the names for a call up to the Three Lions first team . QPR 's Charlie Austin ( left ) and West Brom 's Saido Berahino ( right ) have both been in fine scoring form . 'What pleases me most is young players are getting their chance to play . In the past 19 , 20 , 21-year-olds would be loaned out or would have to sit back and wait for their chance . Now more and more of them are taking the chance when they get it . ' I 'm delighted for him and we 'll see when I select my squad at the end of month if he 's in it . ' Asked whether Kane was ready to make the step up to the senior side , Hodgson said : 'He 's ready . If he was n't ready he would n't be playing for Tottenham and scoring lots of goals . 'The question you ask is has the player got the quality and talent we 're looking for and is there a space for him ? 'If he comes in then someone 's going to drop out and most forwards we 've got have done quite well in the autumn . 'But I ca n't include everyone unfortunately . It 's not always a question of are they good enough , it 's a question of is there space at this time . ' However Kane is the one gaining all the attention having scored 24 goals in all competitions this season . Wayne Rooney , Daniel Sturridge and Danny Welbeck look set to be involved in the squad , while Rickie Lambert and Jermain Defoe are other experienced forward options when the national team reconvene after a four-month break . ' I am looking forward to it , we all are , ' Hodgson said . 'Certainly I and my coaching staff are . I hope the players are looking forward to it , too . 'It will be nice to see them again . We did plan a little meeting in January but we found another way of staying in touch with them . 'It will be nice to see them physically again and I hope to see them in as good a shape as I thought they were last autumn .
