He said: “I’d personally like to see someone alongside Harry Kane in the striker position, even if that changes the formation and the setup behind him.

“I’d probably have Ollie Watkins up front next to him because he brings that pace in behind and can stretch defenders, which would provide more room for Kane to operate in. If you look at the numbers he put up last year as well and the form he’s in, he’s the obvious choice.  
 
“I’m a fan of Ivan Toney too, but with him and Kane up front together, everything would be in front of you as a defender, which is a nice thing to have. Pace always hurts teams and provides a danger for any player, so I’d go for Watkins against the Netherlands.
 
“The Kane situation is a tough one because of his goals and his reputation and creativity. I think if it’s a fitness issue with him, then dropping him becomes an easier decision to make, but if it’s a form issue then Gareth Southgate will just be hoping that it will eventually click into place.”
