Gary Neville is currently surprised by the statement that Wayne Rooney just made about former Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane
Ahead of the Euros, there is no doubt Kane will once again lead his country after another superb scoring season at Bayern Munich
Tottenham fans will be hoping that James Maddison gets the chance to play alongside Kane, a pairing that once looked promising in north London
Maddison is perhaps the most likely to come off the bench, partly due to his relatively quiet end to the season at Spurs
But there’s no reason to believe Tottenham’s other player can’t make an impact, with his skills well-suited to changing games from the bench
As mentioned, before the Euros, Rooney spoke about England, and in particular their captain, Kane
Rooney spoke to Neville on The Overlap and made a pretty big statement about Kane’s legacy in England Wayne Rooney believes Harry Kane is the greatest English player of all time After passing the century Record goalscorer for England, Rooney shared his belief that Kane is the greatest English player of all time
Neville was shocked by this statement, not necessarily because he disagreed, but because it was simply an important statement given that Kane did not bring home honors that would necessarily surpass the honors of 1966
Still, Rooney said: “I think he’s great
I think about the goals he scored
The assists he has added over the past few years
For me, I can say he is the greatest English player of all time
Neville replied: “That is your statement
” Rooney: “I believe that
You’ve talked about Jude before with his work rate, with Harry there’s never a problem
“He is the ultimate professional
He never misses a match
And that’s the common theme you’ll see in players like Kane, Bellingham, Foden
“I’d put my money on it, they’ll never miss a practice or a game
” Of course, Kane, 30, will have two or three more chances to win the trophy with England, which makes Rooney’s claims quite certain
Kane has now scored 62 goals for England, Rooney scored 53 before retiring and Sir Bobby Charlton scored 49
That being said, Tottenham could really find it difficult to sell another English talent in this summer
