As England's current talisman, Harry Kane, continues to dominate the No.9 position with his incredible goal-scoring abilities, concerns arise about who will step up once he's no longer leading the line. Former Premier League and Three Lions striker Stan Collymore sheds light on why there seems to be a lack of emerging talents within the English domestic system to fill Kane's shoes.

Collymore points out that the English youth system often focuses on developing versatile players rather than traditional No.9s. This emphasis on versatility may be hindering the emergence of dedicated goal poachers like Kane. Additionally, the pressure and expectations placed on young English talents could be a contributing factor to the stagnation in producing top-class No.9s.

With Kane setting records and leading the line for England, there is a looming question of who will step into his shoes in the future. Collymore suggests that a shift in focus towards nurturing specialist strikers within the youth system could be the key to identifying and developing the next generation of potent goal-scorers for the national team.
