Ryan Bertrand has tipped Harry Kane to succeed Wayne Rooney as the next permanent England captain.
“[The captiancy] is completely down to the manager. ‘H’ [Harry Kane] gets my vote,” Bertrand said.
“He is in great form. Him coming to the England camp in such fine form is a massive boost for the whole squad.
“What we are blessed with is we have a lot of leaders in the camp now and whoever is tasked with that duty on the night is deserving of that.”
England look to seal qualification for the World Cup in Russia this month as they face a double-header against Slovenia and Lithuania, and could seal their spot at Wembley on Thursday.
“It’s not over, we are very much of a positive mindset. The work isn’t finished and we will try to get the six points,” Bertrand said. “All games internationally are tough. Slovenia will need the points but we need points as well.”
Bertrand wants to get the job done at Wembley rather than waiting to go to Lithuania.
“For me personally, with a fan’s head on, it would be nice to qualify in front of our fans, but we still have work to do,” he said.
