Lampard: Harry Kane should captain England

Chelsea legend Frank Lampard has backed Harry Kane to captain England during the World Cup in Russia this summer.

Following the retirement of Wayne Rooney last year, the Three Lions have not had a permanent captain and the armband has been rotated.

Jordan Henderson has captained the side several times, Kane has had the armband on six occasions while his Spurs team-mate Eric Dier has captained the team three times.

While Dier and Gary Cahill of Chelsea will also be contenders to lead the team during the World Cup, the two front-runners will be Kane and Henderson.
