Soccer-Kane named in England under-21 Euro Championship squad

LONDON, May 20 (Reuters) - Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane has been included in the provisional England squad for this year's under-21 European Championship in the Czech Republic, manager Gareth Southgate said on Wednesday.

The 21-year-old Kane, who has scored 30 goals in all competitions for Spurs this season, earned his first England senior cap in March when he scored within two minutes of coming on as a substitute against Lithuania.

"He's had a fantastic season first and foremost and he's been a big part of our team and I think that's important for all of the group," Southgate told a news conference.
