England manager, Gareth Southgate, has listed the top five strikers in world football.
They include Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspurs), Sergio Aguero (Manchester City), Romelu Lukaku (Inter Milan), Robert Lewandowski (Bayern Munich) and Kylian Mbappe (PSG).
According to Southgate, he has included his captain Kane, because of his incredible record.
Kane has scored 28 goals in all competitions for club and country, providing 17 assists.
Southgate said: “There are not many outright No9s in the world at the moment at a really elite level.
“Lukaku is obviously one. The two boys we’re speaking about – Kane and Lewandowski – are. I suppose Aguero has been.
“But you don’t get that profile of forwards so often, there’s a lot more of the interchangeable forward players that can play as an inside forward or a wide forward and be devastating in those areas, like Mbappe who can play 9 but is normally just as effective in those wider areas.
“They’re difficult to come by and when you’ve got one like we have, gives you a reference point, can lead the line, can link and as we said the other day, not just top goalscorer in the Premier League but top for assists as well, it’s a fantastic player to have in our group.”
