KANE WHO ELSE IS ABLE?

England need options just in case Harry isn't around

- By Andy Dunn

FAMOUSLY, in late 2017, Pep Guardiola referred to Tottenham Hotspur as the “Harry Kane team”.

And to many there is still a “Harry Kane team”, only it is not Spurs. It is England.

The Bayern Munich star has 105 caps and 71 goals and loves a landmark.

Make no mistake, Kane has Peter Shilton’s record number of 125 appearances and a century of international goals in his sights. Assuming he stays fit, he will get plenty more caps and goals under Thomas Tuchel.

After all, in the season they worked together at Bayern, Kane scored 44 in 45 games for the German.

And considering the head coach will be gone in just over a year’s time, Tuchel has no compulsion to find a long-term successor.

But if he is worth his £5million annual salary, what Tuchel does have is an obligation to identify a system and players that can be threatening and prolific in Kane’s absence.
