Kane scored 31 goals for club and country last season, but has netted just once in 11 appearances for Spurs this campaign, although he has scored in each of England’s last two Euro 2016 qualifiers, against San Marino and Switzerland.

Rooney is out of England’s final two qualifiers with an ankle injury, and although Walcott also wants to play as a central striker, it appears Hodgson prefers Kane and will continue to play the Arsenal forward out wide.

“This is a big opportunity for him (Kane),” Hodgson told reporters.

“He’s got a good career ahead of him, so it’s a nice he’ll get an opportunity. With Wayne out, he’s in pole position,” the manager added.
