Luke Shaw claims Harry Kane is the BEST striker in the world after closing in on England's all-time goalscoring record with match-winning penalty against Switzerland

Luke Shaw has hailed England captain Harry Kane as the best striker in world football as he closes in on the Three Lions goalscoring record.

Kane's match-winning penalty in Saturday's 2-1 friendly victory over Switzerland saw him draw level with Sir Bobby Charlton on 49 England goals.

That leaves just Wayne Rooney ahead of him, on 53, as the Tottenham forward continues to lead the way for Gareth Southgate's side.

In all likelihood, with seven games between now and the World Cup in Qatar this winter, Kane could go into the tournament having already eclipsed the record.
