Winning the World Cup in 2026 would go a long way towardscementing that standing, with six goals beingregistered at FIFA’s flagship event in North America - as the Three Lions have made their way to the quarter-final stage.
His latest was recorded in a thrilling 3-2 victory over Mexico at the iconic Azteca Stadium, with ex-Three Lions centre-half Walker - speaking in association withWorld Cup Betting - tellingGOAL when asked if Kane can be contained: “I think you've got to kick him because he's going to kick you as well!
“That's the thing about Harry, his all round game. The very few matches he doesn't score, he still takes part in, he's still a handful. People like him and [Alan] Shearer, they've got more than one string to their bow. So, goal scoring is what they're both known for and they're both supreme goal scorers. But also, they contribute in the game.
“There's people like Ian Wright, there's people like Harry - you blink, they cannot be doing well in the 92nd, 93rd minute, but their belief that they're going to score a goal is unwavering. I think Harry's proven for 10 years. There's people who have doubted him, he's proved everybody wrong and he’s absolutely fantastic. Without him, I'm not sure where we'd be.
“At the moment, the two spearheads really are [Jude] Bellingham and Harry. They have really been, not carrying us, because I thought the team performance was an important one against Mexico, but up until then they were really leading the guard, they were really driving the team.”
Walker added on how Kane has reached the point that he is now widely considered to bethe best No.9 on the planet: “Fantastic footballer. I think sometimes going abroad teaches you different aspects of the game as well. So I think Harry's adding to it - his movement, where the dangers are.
“Because obviously he was at Tottenham for so many years and you get put into that Tottenham way. Well, I think Bayern have opened up a different aspect of football to him. And he brings that on the park and now he's probably the most complete centre-forward in the world.”
