London: Tottenham Hotspur's Harry Kane is determined to play for England at this year's Under-21 European Championship, national coach Roy Hodgson said in comments published by British newspapers on Thursday.

Kane, 21, made his senior England debut last week, scoring 80 seconds after coming on in a 4-0 win over Lithuania, before making his full debut in Tuesday's 1-1 draw with Italy in Turin. Spurs are wary of over-burdening a player who has scored 29 goals this season, but Kane has played a key role in the England Under-21s' qualifying campaign and Hodgson says he is eager to go to the Czech Republic in June. "Harry wants to go with the Under-21s," Hodgson said.
