Hodgson: Tottenham's Kane an all round centre-forward

England coach Roy Hodgson has reaffirmed his intention to select Harry Kane in his next squad.

Hodgson is delighted with the emergence of the Tottenham striker.

He said: "We think back two or three years when I started but up front we didn't have enormous depth.

"We saw quite a few youngsters but not that many. Charlie Austin? He's done very well. You have to wait until the 19th to see if I pick him, as well as Berahino. I really do admire them all.

"Harry Kane? He is an all-round centre forward, can play right up there against a centre back, or come off and see a pass.

"He's got technique, he's always looking to get on the end of crosses, that header against Arsenal was a really classy header. I thought that was a wonderful.

"If all goes well and he stays fit I'm pretty sure he'll be in the next squad."
