'Every team would want Kane' - Capello backs 'great striker' to lead England World Cup charge

The former Three Lions boss believes Tottenham's star frontman is capable of inspiring an exciting young squad at this summer's showpiece in Russia

Harry Kane is a “great striker” that “every team would want to have”, says Fabio Capello, believing an exciting England squad is capable of challenging at the 2018 World Cup.

The Three Lions were left sweating on the fitness and match sharpness of their star frontman after seeing him pick up an untimely knock with Tottenham.

Kane was, however, back in domestic action on Sunday in the Premier League clash with Chelsea and still has a number of games in which to return to his predatory best in time for a shot at global glory.
