Chelsea legend Didier Drogba has defended England captain Harry Kane.

The Tottenham striker is yet to score at the World Cup.

But Drogba told BBC Sport: "The question marks about who should play in this England team are the wide attackers, not Kane.

"He cannot drop and help the team build play that way and also be there scoring goals, so the others have to do their bit too.

"That's what Arjen Robben, Joe Cole, Damien Duff and whoever played on the wings for me with Chelsea were always doing. And Frank Lampard in the middle too - when I was dropping deep, Frank was running past me as a striker and scoring goals.

"People have complained that Kane has not had a shot on target in the first three games at this tournament but they said they same about me when I only scored 16 goals in my first season at Chelsea - and how many did I create with the spaces I made or by passes for my team-mates?

"That is the value you get with a complete striker. It is not just about the goals they score, they bring much more.

"Giroud didn't score a goal at the last World Cup, but he is still a world champion, and the work he did meant Mbappe got goals and the team was successful.

"So, it works. And, if England are winning, there is no need to give Kane a hard to time for not getting some goals himself."
