Former England manager Fabio Capello brands Harry Kane 'one of the greatest forwards of all time' as he insists the Three Lions are 'better suited to playing matches during the season' ahead of Qatar World Cup

Former England manager Fabio Capello has branded current Three Lions captain Harry Kane one of the best forwards of all time.

England are preparing to face Italy and Germany in the final international break before the World Cup, a period in which Kane could become his country's all-time leading goalscorer with the Tottenham forward currently just three goals behind current record holder Wayne Rooney.

Capello, speaking to Sky Sports, said Kane is 'England's most important player' because of how often he is involved in his side's build-up play, after acknowledging the quality of the 29-year-old.
