Jamie Vardy and Harry Kane would be an effective front two for England, says Leicester boss Claude Puel

Leicester manager Claude Puel has urged England boss Gareth Southgate to play Jamie Vardy and Harry Kane together as a strike partnership.

Kane is first choice for the national team, understandably given the Tottenham man has been the Premier League's top-scorer for the past two seasons, with Southgate often opting to play him as a lone striker, meaning Vardy is a substitute.

There have been occasions when the two have been on the pitch at the same time, but that has regularly resulted in Vardy being deployed in a wider position and not through the middle.
