Callum Wilson believes he CAN offer a lethal alternative to Harry Kane as England prepare for their knockout clash with Senegal.
The Newcastle United striker has been an effective substitute for Kane in two of England’s World Cup matches, registering an assist after coming on against Iran and going close to scoring against Wales. And while Wilson obviously knows he will not replace the captain in England’s starting line-up, he will continue to put pressure on Kane and be ready to give Gareth Southgate an exciting option from the bench.
He explained: “Myself and Harry are totally different players. I think that’s probably why we are in the squad together. We have different profiles. Harry’s strengths are linking the play and being an unbelievable goalscorer, mine is probably stretching the game, creating space for others within the midfield and to get in on the shoulder and try to get my goals.
