Kane scored his first goal of the tournament against Germany in the round of 16, netting a header from Jack Grealish’s cross.
The 27-year-old looked in fantastic touch against Ukraine and bagged a brace in the quarter-final as England won 4-0.
Kane will be hoping to improve his goal tally when England will take on Denmark today in the semi-final, but Mourinho has suggested that the Spurs striker is more focused on winning the trophy for his country.

The England skipper is a world-class striker who has been performing at a top-level for Tottenham for the past few years.
He is at the stage of his career where he feels the need to win trophies. Kane has the chance to do it for England, and become a national hero, forever.
At club level, he is angling a move from Spurs this summer, with Manchester City keen to sign him. Kane has three more years left on his present deal at Spurs who have rejected a £100m bid from City last month.
