Kane appointed as England Captain for World Cup in Russia

Tottenham ace Harry Kane will captain England at the upcoming World Cup in Russia.

England boss Gareth Southgate named Kane as his skipper for the tournament during a meeting with the squad at St. George's Park on Monday night.

Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson and Tottenham midfielder Eric Dier have previously captained England under Southgate but it is Kane who will take the armband in Russia.

"It is an amazing honour. You always dream of playing for England growing up and to be the captain is that little bit more," said the Spurs striker.
