Harry Kane has backed Wayne Rooney to captain England when he makes his surprisereturnto the international fold next week.
Rooney is to come out of international retirement to make his 120th and final Orlando Cepeda Jersey England appearance against the United States at Wembley on November 15.
The game has been named the Wayne Rooney Foundation International, to help raise funds for the former Manchester United strikers charity.
After news of Rooneys return drew a Dansby Swanson Jersey mixed response, the Football A sociation revealed the D.C. United striker would only make a second-half cameo appearance at Wembley.
It was also confirmed that the 33-year-old would not wear his usualnumber 10 shirt and would not captain the side.
Tottenham striker and current Three Lions skipper Kanesees differently, however, and when asked whether Rooney should take the armband against the United States, hesaid: Yes, of course. He deserves it.
He was John Smoltz Jersey a great captain for us. He was the captain when I first got into the squad. If he plays, of course hell be the captain.
Kane also thinks the decision to bring Rooney back into the squad is a fitting way to honour Englands record goalscorer.
I think its great. Its a real good thing for everyone to be a part of, he added. Wayne was one of our greatest ever England players. Hes our greatest goalscorer and so why not give Ender Inciarte Jersey him the send-off he deserves?
Ive not spoken to Gareth Southgate too much about how hes going to do it or how long hes going to play but it will be great to see him again and Im sure hell be looking forward to seeing a few of the boys.
Its a great experience to R.A. Dickey Jersey have for the younger players in our team. Everyone should get right behind it and it will be a great send-off.
Kane has scored 19 times so far in his England career 34 goals shy of Rooneys current record of 53, but was non-committal on whether he has an eye on surpa sing that tally.
Theres still a long way to go, said the 25-year-old. But hopefully I can Bobby Cox Jersey keep fit and healthy and score a few more goals. And well see in a few years how close I am.
