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.

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.

JJ Gabriel has been advised to not “do something silly” as he forces his way towards the exits at Manchester United.

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.
