Harry Kane is the “best of the best” and continues to eclipse former England captain Alan Shearer in the evergreen striker stakes, Emile Heskey has told GOAL. The Bayern Munich frontman and Three Lions skipper is showing no sign of slowing down at 33 years of age. He plundered 73 goals for club and country last season, bringing him into contention for the 2026 Ballon d’Or.
Dele Alli serves as a warning to Jadon Sancho of what can happen when a promising career goes off the rails, former Aston Villa star Ray Houghton has told GOAL. Having struggled for a spark at Manchester United, Chelsea and Villa, England international Sancho is now a free agent. Fellow former Three Lions star Dele finds himself in a similar position, and has done so for over 12 months.
JJ Gabriel has been advised to not “do something silly” as he forces his way towards the exits at Manchester United. The 15-year-old wonderkid is ready to sever ties with the Red Devils while waiting on his competitive senior debut. He has been linked with leading sides across Europe, with Emile Heskey reacting to that saga during an exclusive interview with GOAL.
France legend Thierry Henry has heaped praise on the Spanish national team following their historic World Cup triumph, describing their collective approach to the game as a tactical masterclass. The former Barcelona forward believes the side's unique identity makes them the most difficult opponent in world football today.
Barcelona sensation Lamine Yamal has laid out a compelling case for why he should be crowned the best player in the world at the upcoming Ballon d’Or ceremony. The 19-year-old winger believes his unique flair and ability to entertain supporters sets him apart from almost every other elite player in European football today.
Thomas Tuchel has thrown his full weight behind Harry Kane to become the first Englishman in over two decades to claim the Ballon d’Or. The Three Lions boss believes his captain is only getting better with age and sees no reason why the prolific striker cannot remain the focal point of the national team for years to come.
