'Harry Kane is England's superstar' - Spurs forward obvious skipper choice, says Lampard

The former Three Lions midfielder believes the Tottenham striker is the obvious candidate to lead Gareth Southgate's side in Russia this summer

Harry Kane is “the superstar” in England's squad, says Frank Lampard, and must captain the side at World Cup 2018.

The Tottenham striker has taken the armband at times under Gareth Southgate, with the position of skipper still up for grabs following Wayne Rooney’s international retirement.

An appointment is expected to be made ahead of the global showpiece in Russia, with Kane considered to be a leading contender alongside Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson.
