Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says England should select Harry Kane after the Tottenham striker’s two-goal display in Saturday’s north London derby.
Kane scored both goals as Spurs came from behind to secure a 2-1 win over Wenger’s Arsenal at White Hart Lane.
It takes the 21-year-old’s goal tally for the season to 22 in 34 matches.
“When you have scored the number of goals he has scored, if you don’t put him in there somebody else will give him a passport,” said Wenger.
Brilliant play. A great talent nurtured by Tottenham. But Arsenal (defeated yesterday by Tottenham) are Spurs’ great rivals, and when Arsene Wenger, Tottenham manager, says that Harry Kane should play for England I suspect that it is a coded message that he should play for Arsenal. Or is this paranoia?
Ooooops ….. I should have previewed. Arsene Wenger is Arsenal manager. Talk about making a nonsense of the point I was trying to make. Sigh. Apologies.
