Ian Wright picks his England front three for Euro 2020 and makes bold prediction

  Ian Wright has spoken out on England's attacking options ahead of the Euro 2020. Gareth Southgate named his final 26-man squad on Tuesday and the Three Lions will start their preparations for the tournament with a friendly game against Austria on Wednesday, June 2. Later England will have one more friendly game against Romania and will begin their Euro campaign with a game against Croatia on June 13. "Can I be totally honest, I’m f***ing gassed," said Wright on his Wrighty’s House podcast as he reacted to the squad announcement. "For me, if we’re going to talk about what we can put out up front… I know who my front three is and it’s purely on form and who should be starting. "Jadon Sancho getting the injury and then getting back to form, you want to go into a tournament feeling like how he does. "Obviously Phil Foden is a little bit disappointed because he lost the Champions League final, but you want to go into it in the form that he’s showed. "But those three [Kane, Sancho and Foden] are amazing. I didn’t even mention Jack Grealish! "Foden can come in and link into Kane. If you’re Harry Kane going into that tournament you’re laughing. It’s a feast for him. "You’re looking at Grealish, Rashford, Sterling and [Bukayo] Saka who could come off the bench in respects of needing creativity, needing impact – like we’ve not had for many years. "When you look at the depth of what we’ve got going on up front and on the bench from an attacking point of view, we could win it. "We could win it. I’m not afraid to say that. With the ability we’ve got, we’ve got the players that will frighten teams."   source - Metro / Join us on Telegram!/ Follow us on Twitter!
