Chelsea's Cahill expects Tottenham ace Kane to lead England U21s

Gary Cahill believes that Tottenham star Harry Kane should still play for the England U21s at the European Championships in the summer.

29 goals for Spurs this season saw Kane called up to the England senior national team for the first time last week but Chelsea defender Cahill has implored him not to forget about the Young Lions as they prepare to compete in the Czech Republic in June.

Speaking about his new national teammate, Cahill said: "When you're asked to play for England's seniors or the Under-21s you want to go and play. I'm sure he's [Kane] not different.

"When it comes to that time [when he might get the call-up] I'm sure he'll accept. He's had a taste of the seniors and there'll be more squads he'll be part of.

"It's important for us that the Under-21s do well at the Euros this summer. They have a good squad and their ultimate aim is the senior squad.

"I went to the Under-21s finals and it gives you experience as a player. It's good for the players' development."
