Striker Harry Kane will captain England at the World Cup in Russia, manager Gareth Southgate has announced.
Kane, 24, scored 41 goals in all competitions last season as Tottenham finished third in the Premier League.
Spurs team-mate Eric Dier and Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson have also skippered England recently.
“Harry has some outstanding personal qualities,” said Southgate, who told the England squad during a meeting at St George’s Park on Monday night.
