#2 Harry Kane has proved his world-class ability
Harry Kane is likely to walk out of this World Cup as the tournament's top goalscorer and will subsequently underline his status as the world's in-form forward by doing so. His development over the past few years has been breathtaking and he is a worthy incumbent of the England captaincy too.
Following Cristiano Ronaldo's surprise move to Juventus this week, there are rumours circulating that Real Madrid are ready to make Kane their latest Galactico. If this move is genuine and not just speculation, it will help elevate Kane to the highest echelons of club football and further individual accolades, such as the Ballon d'Or, could follow.
This experience at football's top table will help Kane to develop further, both as a player and a leader, while enhancing his national teammates' by proxy.
