Leicester manager Claude Puel has urged England boss Gareth Southgate to play Jamie Vardy and Harry Kane together as a strike partnership.
“I think it would be a good opportunity perhaps if they could play together because it would be a good balance between Jamie and Harry,” said Puel, whose side host Tottenham in the Premier League on Tuesday night.
“Harry can play a little further back because he likes to play and participate with his teammates and Jamie likes to take space and play behind the defenders. It is a good balance between them both.”
Asked how to stop Kane, Puel replied: “It is difficult. For me it’s collective because he doesn’t stay in place.
Sometimes he goes back to play between the lines, sometimes goes for first balls and sometimes second.
“He plays with a good understanding with his teammates. He can shoot, he can score from every position around the box and inside the box. It is difficult because he is clinical because in every position he can score without an opportunity.”
Puel will still be without central defender Robert Huth (ankle) and midfielder Matty James (Achilles) against Tottenham, but the Frenchman otherwise has an amazing squad available.
