Harry Kane wants to “shine a light” on human rights concerns surrounding the Qatar World Cup.
Kane revealed he plans to talk to Tottenham team mates Hugo Lloris and Heung-Min Son - who are also national team captains of France and South Korea respectively - to send out a strong message ahead of the tournament. Gareth Southgate led a 30 minute meeting at St George’s Park to discuss with the squad about concerns over migrant workers’ rights and the England boss has also said it is “horrible” that LGBT fans will not feel comfortable because homosexuality is illegal in the Gulf state.
Three Lions captain Kane said: “There are a couple of other national team captains at Tottenham and maybe talking to other national captains to see if we can be unified with what we can do and how we approach it. I think it’s really important. As a nation we want our fans to enjoy the tournament as much as we hopefully enjoy the tournament. And we want them to feel safe and free to watch the games how they please and act how they want to act.
