Former Manchester United defender, Gary Neville, has hailed Harry Kane as England’s greatest-ever player.
Neville, speaking on Sky Sports, also insisted that Kane must start the Euro 2024 final against Spain, amid doubts over his fitness.
The Three Lions are preparing for their first final on foreign soil against Spain this Sunday.
There have been concerns about Kane’s form and they have only increased following impressive displays off the bench from Ollie Watkins and Ivan Toney.
Kane is the joint-top scorer at Euro 2024 with three goals and has taken his tally of career international knockout stage goals to nine, which is more than any other European player in history.
Nevill said: “I spoke to Wayne Rooney four or five weeks ago before the tournament started and he said Harry Kane is the greatest England player ever.
“That is massive praise from someone who has been around the block with England in Rooney.
“I wouldn’t fight to disagree with him either. Harry Kane has been absolutely sensational. I always called him gold when he was at Tottenham, you just know full well that he’s going to deliver for you. He’s a solid character.”
