Graeme Souness makes big claim about Harry Kane ahead of England World Cup match against Iran

Graeme Souness believes that Harry Kane is England's only world class player as Gareth Southgate's men prepare to take on Iran in their opening World Cup game.

England begin their competition in Qatar with the match against Iran on Monday afternoon and captain Kane is looking to lead the country to another final and beyond after last year's Euros. The 29-year-old will also be aiming to recapture the Golden Boot he won in Russia in 2018 and with France having lost Karim Benzema this weekend to injury, one contender for that prize will unfortunately not be able to play in Qatar.

Ahead of England's first game, former Liverpool and Spurs midfielder Souness, now a pundit for Sky Sports, believes that Kane is the country's only top class player.
