Former Manchester United striker Teddy Sheringham insists that Tottenham's Harry Kane is a far more complete striker than Leicester City's Jamie Vardy and must be first in line to start for England at the European Championships.
Both players have performed excellently this season with Kane pipping Vardy to the coveted golden boot by just one goal - scoring 25 - and will certainly have an impact in Roy Hodgson's summer campaign in France.

"?"?But the former England international told the "?Daily Mirror that Kane is simply the more complete player and must come before Vardy in the the England pecking order.
He added: "If you assess everything that Kane and Vardy can both do "? they can both run the channels, they can both score from long distance, and they both get goals with their right foot.
"However Kane is better on his left foot, Kane is better in the air, and Kane is better at receiving the ball.
"Vardy's pace is probably exceptional and that makes him different, but Kane has something more to his game and at international level you need that.
"Can Kane challenge for the Golden Boot at Euro 2016? Yeah, of course he can. If he hits a run of form like he did in the league then absolutely.
"If he scores a couple of goals in the group stage and England get a nice draw in the Round of 16 then he'll be bang in the mix.

"You need everyone confident and in-form once you hit the knock-out stages, particularly your strikers, as that is when it all gets a bit tense.
"Give either Kane or Vardy half a chance at the moment and they will take it.
"But it makes more sense to play Harry Kane with Wayne Rooney in behind and leave Jamie Vardy on the bench for England . That's not the Tottenham bias in me either "? I like to have players that go in different areas.
"Presuming that Roy Hodgson is going to play a 4-4-1-1 or a 4-3-3 formation with England, you need an out-and-out striker. If you play two players up front who play the same way they're going to be taking up the same areas of the pitch."?
