Tottenham striker Harry Kane is building a special room for his vast number of goalscoring trophies... and he'll ask Wayne Rooney for tips

Harry Kane admits there might be one problem with his prolific return to form - he is not sure what to do with the growing collection of hat-trick balls, Golden Boots and other assorted trinkets of success.

Wayne Rooney created a special room, a glittering mini-museum inside his own house, where he could display a bounty of swapped-shirts, medals and England caps.

'I've not seen it,' said Kane. 'I'll text him and ask him about it. At the moment they're all at home, just in bags, in the cupboards, waiting to be put up.

'I'm hoping to build a room for them, the trophies and the balls. It isn't built yet but hopefully it will be soon.'

At this rate, the Spurs striker might have to revise the dimensions and make it larger.

After another barren August, goals have erupted and three in the Champions League against APOEL in Nicosia took his September tally to 11 in seven games for club and country.

Records keep falling and the tributes keep flowing.

Glenn Hoddle, on BT Sport, claimed he could go on to become Tottenham's 'greatest goalscorer' which is some accolade to be compared favourably to Jimmy Greaves, the scorer of 266 goals in 379 games for the club.

In modern terms, Kane's goals have launched him into the tier of strikers aspiring to reach the standards set by Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Kane and Ronaldo are set to go head-to-head in the Champions League, with Spurs preparing for a double-header against Real Madrid in October.

'I've never met him but I'm a fan, of course,' said 24-year-old Kane. 'I'm a fan of great footballers and he's one of the best, especially of my generation.

'I want to test myself against the best and Real Madrid have been the best in the last few years, without a doubt. They have one of the best defences with Sergio Ramos, Marcelo and players like that.

'I'm looking forward to it. I've never been to the Bernabeu, it's going to be exciting and I want to put in a performance like I have been recently.

'Hopefully we can win and maybe score more goals than him.

'It will probably come down again to who is more clinical in the final third. Hopefully that can be us.

'We feel we can beat anyone on our day. We're confident, definitely. We're going there to win.'

After crashing out of the Champions League at the group stage last year, Spurs have offered signs of improvement with six goals and six points from fixtures against Borussia Dortmund, at Wembley, and APOEL, in Cyprus.

Kane, who missed three of the six group games last season, already has five in two this term and is making the step up in class look easy.

Manager Mauricio Pochettino described him as a 'killer' after the goals in Nicosia, the ninth hat-trick of his career.

'It's not easy but I'm, confident and feeling good,' said Kane. 'I took my chances well and I'm happy. I was pleased with my finishing. That's part of being more mature.

'The more I play, the more I get a sense of what defenders will do at certain times. The second goal, for example, going back across through the legs, little things like that. As you get older and wiser, things come naturally.

'I said at the start of the campaign I wanted to prove myself on the big stage against the big teams.

'APOEL aren't one of the big teams in the Champions League but it's still a tough place to come and so it's a great victory and I'm very proud to get my first Champions League hat-trick.'

Tottenham's next game is at Huddersfield on Saturday in the Premier League.
