Because sometimes Kane is shit, to be frank, when he's not 100%. Why does any team have multiple players for the same position? Daft question.
Kane is by far and away our best number 9, even when he isn't firing - he's also the captain and first name on the team sheet and rightly so.

Let's agree to disagree but the fact of the matter is, Watkins unfortunately isn't as good as we like to believe and whilst he's had a decent run of late, I'd be surprised to see him in an England shirt any time soon.

With Spurs, Kane can afford to drop deep because Son is always a willing runner. When he does it in an England shirt we look pedestrian. Ollie could do Son's role IMO.

As stats go it's hardly world-beating, but still..

Southgate isn’t fit to be England manager
This will be his last tournament before he’s relieved of his duties.

Stats say different. Behind Alf Ramsay he is the most successful manager we have had in last 50 + years.

Those stats are pretty s**t for a player some people consider to be England's no.1 striker.

Good stat. Ollie is not England's best striker, but the stats suggest he is worthy of being selected for the squad.
