Arsene Wenger tells Roy Hodgson to pick Harry Kane or risk losing him to Ireland (sort of)

Tottenham goal machine's Dad hails from Galway

Come on Martin – make him an offer he can’t refuse

There are few things more certain than Harry Kane’s inclusion in the next England squad.

His two goals on Saturday secured victory for Spurs in the north London derby, took his tally to 12 league this season and sent Piers Morgan into a complete meltdown. All in all, a pretty good day for Harry then.

Of course, Kane also has the option of playing for Ireland as his Dad comes from Galway (something that left his coach Mauricio Pochettino somewhat bemused when it was put to him last week) and after the game Arsene Wenger warned Roy Hodgson to pick Kane in his next squad or risk losing him to someone else.

Ireland are the only other team Kane can play for so we have to assume that that’s what Wenger is getting at.

It’s not going to happen but we can live in hope.

Keane and Kane? Now that’s a dream front two.
