5 players who can replace Wayne Rooney as England captain

4) Harry Kane

Can Harry Kane become England's captain on a permanent basis?

All it took was 79 seconds for Harry Kane to score on his England debut. He had already lit up the Premier League prior to his call-up and it seemed like he had only changed his shirt as the players on the bench looked on with a knowing smile.

Kane is destined for great things. His goal scoring record in the Premier League suggests he could beat Alan Shearer's record if he stays in England long enough. He is only 24 and has a long way to go.

“I would love to be England captain. I don’t know what the gaffer’s feeling is but he gave me the armband and it was probably the most special moment of my career.” - Kane

Who better to lead a team than a striker who regularly scores goals? And Kane will certainly start every game for the Three Lions with Jermain Defoe on his last legs and Jamie Vardy a useful substitute.
