Former Chelsea striker Tony Cascarino fears Tottenham ace Harry Kane has lost his edge.

The 23-year-old was largely isolated in Slovakia as Wayne Rooney assumed a deep position alongside Eric Dier and Jordan Henderson.

"Harry Kane is not right at the moment and I'm surprised he started this game," Cascarino wrote in The Times.

"The striker has lost his ability to run the channel and is losing foot race - he wasn't doing that 18 months ago when he burst onto the scene with Tottenham Hotspur and England.

"He has not got blistering pace and never will have - but he is a strong runner who can keep a centre back honest. For some reason he is not the same menace as he was and I'm surprised it took Sam Allardyce as long as it did to change his striker in Slovakia.

"Harry has lost that edge that every top striker needs and he needs that back as soon as possible."
