Kane at 32 leads England World Cup hopes
Harry Kane remains England’s key concern ahead of their World Cup opener against Croatia on 17 June, with the team struggling for attacking threat in recent matches without their captain. The 32-year-old enjoyed a remarkable season for FC Bayern Munich, scoring 64 goals in 56 appearances and helping the club win two trophies. England’s all-time leading scorer, with 78 international goals, is also being tipped by some observers as a strong contender for this year’s Ballon d’Or.
