Leeds' Patrick Bamford makes bold claim over Harry Kane ahead of England’s World Cup qualifiers

Patrick Bamford has hailed Harry Kane labelling him as the best striker the world. Leeds United striker has earned his first England call-up, as the Three Lions prepare for their World Cup qualifier against Hungary on Thursday night. England then host Andorra on Sunday before travelling to Poland for a third qualifier against Poland on Wednesday evening. And Bamford is delighted to be sharing a training pitch with Kane, as he thinks the Three Lions skipper is the best at what he does and is someone he can learn from.

Speaking to talkSPORT, the 27-year-old striker said: “I’ve not really modelled my game on Harry [Kane].   “For me, he’s the best striker in the world as an out-and-out No.9.   “But there are certain aspects where I look up to him and see where I can improve. Even in training I saw how crisp his contacts with the ball is when he’s finishing.   “I don’t know if our game is as similar as people make out because I run in behind a lot more and there are different aspects of it but there are definitely things I can learn from him.”
