Harry Kane meets new England inspired Madame Tussauds waxwork (1:09)

England captain Harry Kane has had a first-ever waxwork figure of himself unveiled at Madame Tussauds London ahead of the World Cup this summer.

The Bayern Munich striker met his waxwork twin before travelling to Florida with the England squad ahead of preparations for their World Cup opener against Croatia on June 17.

Kane joins the popular attraction's lineup of footballing heroes: Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Mohamed Salah and Kylian Mbappé.

"It was a real honour to get the call from Madame Tussauds. It's one of those things that you never expect to happen," Kane said.

"London is a special place for me, and I've lived here pretty much my whole life, so it's the perfect city to have my first figure -- it feels like a true full-circle moment. Seeing the final result was a special moment; the eyes are so realistic, and they even remembered the tape on my wedding finger that I kiss to celebrate when I score a goal -- it's like looking in the mirror!"

The waxwork is kitted-out in tournament-ready attire with his famous No. 9 squad number on the new England home shirt and took six months to bring to life.

To make the unveiling more special, a select group of players from Ridgeway Rovers in Walthamstow, East London -- the team Kane first played for at the age of six -- were the first to see the new figure and give it their stamp of approval.

Fans and visitors will have the opportunity to visit the England skipper's wax figure from June 5.
