text: Mauricio Pochettino might have given up hope of qualifying for the Champions League, but Harry Kane won’t hear any of it. The 21-year-old, who became the youngest Premier League captain this season during the drab goalless draw against Burnley on Easter Sunday, still retains belief they can gatecrash the top-four party. Spurs are now seven points behind Manchester City, who play Crystal Palace on Monday night, with just seven games remaining. Harry Kane believes Tottenham still have a chance of qualifying for the Champions League this season . It looks a tall order, but Kane - who hailed his last few days as the ‘best week of my life’ - thinks they can make it. 'It's going to be tricky, we're quite a few points behind now,’ Kane said. 'But in this league you never know. We've got winnable games coming up and we focus on them. ‘We take each game as it comes and see where that takes us. We start on Saturday [at home against Aston Villa].’ Kane has 29 club goals under Pochettino this season and is the main reason Tottenham have lasted the pace until now. Kane could not find a way to break the deadlock for Tottenham in their 0-0 draw at Turf Moor on Sunday . Throwing him the armband was a move bourne out of necessity by the manager, and it was something he relished. 'It's a real honour, a very proud moment for myself to lead the side out,’ Kane added. ‘It's very special for me. Hopefully there is more to come in the years to come. 'We've got a lot of leaders in the team. It's a very young team and everyone has their say. To be given the armband by the gaffer is a proud moment. But there are a lot of captains out there and we all try and work to the same aim.’ At just 21 years and 251 days, the Tottenham striker led out his side for the first time in draw with Burnley . He and Burnley’s Danny Ings are also working to the same aim - bidding to work their way into the thoughts of England manager Roy Hodgson ahead of next summer’s European Championships in France. Both will be handed spots in Gareth Southgate’s squad for the Under 21 Euros at the end of this season. Kane hopes their partnership can be one replicated for the seniors in years to come. Kane and Burnley striker Danny Ings will both be handed spots in Gareth Southgate's Under 21 Euros squad . ‘Turin was a great experience,’ he said. ‘To get my first start for England is another proud moment for me. It was tough and I can only learn from those sort of games. ‘Danny’s a great player. I know him well from the Under 21s. He scores goals and his movement's great. He's a prospect for English football. There are a lot of great English strikers here at the moment, which is good for the country. 'There's competition. We've all got to work hard to retain our place. ‘We've both got to keep working hard, as do the other strikers who are trying to get a place. We'll see what happens.’
