Kane: England's Messi-Like Star

Published July 4, 2026 · Updated July 4, 2026 · Fox Sports

Harry Kane has become Lionel Messi-esque in his importance to England, according to Stan Collymore, as the striker's 5 World Cup goals help the Three Lions' campaign.

Harry Kane has established himself as indispensable to England's World Cup hopes, with the Bayern Munich star drawing comparisons to Lionel Messi in terms of his collective value. The prolific striker has already netted five times in the tournament, including a brace against Croatia and a dramatic goal against DR Congo, taking his international tally to 84.

Former England striker Stan Collymore noted that Kane's consistent output makes him irreplaceable for the national team, highlighting a future concern as England lacks clear young strikers to step into his shoes when he eventually retires. michezonews.co.za
