Hodgson: Spurs striker Kane WILL get England call

England coach Roy Hodgson says he'll select Tottenham striker Harry Kane.

Kane has now broken through the 20 goal barrier for Spurs this season.

Hodgson said: "Is he worth a place in the squad now? Of course he is.

"We bought a lot of young players in during my time. We had Saido Berahino in the last squad.

"He (Kane) certainly deserves a place in the squad as much as, say, Saido (Berahino) did.

"Is he worthy of a place like Wayne Rooney, Danny Welbeck and Daniel Sturridge or whoever? Well, that's something he'll have to prove.

"Unless I give him a chance in the squad he'll never get a chance to prove that anyway. Certainly, I like to think I do show a certain degree of loyalty to players who have been playing for a while and who I know I can trust."
