Sports.

Background

Harry Kane, who currently plays for Bayern Munich, is one of the most important players for England. His record goalscoring and number of caps reflects his importance to England. Tuchel's statement sheds light on England's future forward options, highlighting the challenge ahead of Kane.

Why it matters

This statement of Thomas Tuchel is important for English football, because it will be challenging to fill the place of a player like Harry Kane. Kane has recently created a new record by scoring 87th goal against Czech Republic, which has increased his importance even more. England will need a capable forward in the future, especially as Kane is in the final stages of his career.

Key Points

• It is impossible for England to find another Harry Kane - Tuchel.
• Thomas Tuchel says it will be difficult to find a successor to Harry Kane as Kane approaches a new England caps record.
• Impossible for England to find another Kane - Tuchel.

England head coach Thomas Tuchel has said it will be impossible for the team to find "another Harry Kane". His statement came after his free-scoring captain Harry Kane created a new record by scoring his 87th goal against Czech Republic on Tuesday. Kane is now close to breaking Peter Shilton's record of 125 international caps. The 33-year-old Bayern Munich forward scored 73 goals for club and country last season, which puts him among the potential winners of the Ballon d'Or.

However, Tuchel admitted that Kane's game would not last forever due to his age and England needed to find a solution to the situation. Tuchel said, "You'll never find another Harry Kane. He already inspires everyone and his mentality makes him a hard-working forward who, with his finishing skills, is a complete package."

It has been a long standing problem for England that they have not been able to find a suitable back-up forward for Harry Kane. Ollie Watkins and Ivan Toney have played this role in the last two major tournaments, but both players are also in their 30s and have not been selected for the current Nations League. Dominic Calvert-Luyn is also in the squad, but he is also close to his 30th birthday. At the same time, Liam Delap is the only English center forward who has scored a goal in the Champions League under the age of 27.

Tuchel placed Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham in a more advanced role to increase his striker options in Prague. "I like him as a number nine. Then he can contribute on both sides and not impact the balance too much. We gave him a new role as a central 10 in the last match, so he can go on both sides," he said.

Tuchel says they are working towards it and Bellingham is a natural goalscorer. His aim is to score goals and be at the decisive moment, so it is not important whether he plays as a number nine or number 10.

What will happen next

England will now have to focus on their forward options, as players like Ollie Watkins and Ivan Toney are also facing challenges due to age. Tuchel suggested playing Jude Bellingham as a number nine could be a possible solution for England. However, it remains to be seen how England will find a new forward who can fill the void left by Harry Kane.
