Gary Neville claims Ivan Toney should replace Harry Kane BEFORE Ollie Watkins does in Euro 2024 final against Spain - despite the Aston Villa star's stunning semi-final winner

Gary Neville has suggested Ivan Toney could be a better impact player off the bench than Ollie Watkins against Spain in Sunday's Euro 2024 final showdown.

Aston Villa star Watkins lived out his boyhood dream by scoring a 90th minute winner against the Netherland's in England's semi-final victory earlier in the week.

His sublime finish following a brilliant pass from Cole Palmer secured England's place in the European Championship finale at the Netherlands' expense after Spain had already dumped France out.

Watkins posed an immediate threat when he came off the bench in the 81st minute, replacing Harry Kane while Brentford striker Toney remained an unused substitute.
