Where's 'the next Harry Kane?' - Ex-Premier League striker concerned about future of England's attack
England has a looming striker problem, according to Louis Saha.
The Three Lions' current main goalscorer, Bayern Munich star Harry Kane, is still lethal as he leads the Bundesliga's Golden Boot Race and has scored twice in two matches for England in 2025.
However, the 31-year-old is likely closer to the end of his career than the beginning, and Saha does not see an obvious successor for England's all-time leading goalscorer.
Speaking to Genting Casino, former Manchester United and Fulham striker Saha expressed his concern for the future of England's attack.
"Yes, I think it's a worry because in his position, when you look at his numbers, do you see in the camp the next Rooney, the next Harry Kane?" Saha said when asked if the striker position could be a question mark following Kane's eventual retirement.
"I'm not sure, there are good players down here, but strikers in general are dying and definitely the style of Harry and his numbers are a rarity now, so yes, I can understand why it’s being questioned.
"I think English football always provided those types of special players when it comes to the number nine position, or let's say wingers now, who are getting those kinds of numbers. Maybe in the next two or three years you will see some great potential that you have in the squad, like Cole Palmer, or the few players that are shining in the Premier League that come through."
