Hodgson hints at England selection for Leicester star Vardy, Tottenham ace Kane

Roy Hodgson has suggested that both Jamie Vardy and Harry Kane will be in his England squad for Euro2016.

Leicester City striker Vardy has netted 24 goals for the new Premier League champions while Kane leads the Golden Boot charts with 25 goals for second-placed Tottenham Hotspur.

In his programme notes for the Football Writers' Association Footballer of the Year awards, Hodgson indicated that both attackers would be in his final selection for the Euros

"It's his goals that single Jamie out as very special," wrote Hodgson who will now name his squad on Monday.

"At the time of writing I am fortunate to have a group of English strikers in such a rich vein of form going into the European Championships, with both Jamie and Harry Kane right at the top of the goal-scoring charts."

England take on Russia, Wales and Slovakia in Group B of the France tournament which begins on June 10.
