Gary Lineker has hailed Harry Kane as 'the greatest English striker we've ever had' after the England captain matched his tally of 10 World Cup goals. The former Tottenham striker watched Kane convert a retaken penalty and power home a header against Ghana to reach the milestone. Lineker praised Kane's all-round game as what separates him from other forwards.

Alan Shearer, who scored 30 goals for England, believes it's only a matter of time before Kane surpasses Lineker's record. Shearer noted that other elite strikers like Messi, Mbappe and Haaland all scored immediately in their matches, putting pressure on Kane to deliver. The Bayern Munich forward answered that pressure with his brace against Ghana.

Manchester United defender Harry Maguire, omitted from Thomas Tuchel's squad, went further than his fellow pundits. Maguire declared Kane not just England's best player, but 'one of the best players in the world.' He emphasized Kane's leadership qualities both on and off the pitch.

Kane's achievement places him alongside Lineker in England's World Cup history while potentially setting up a record-breaking performance that could define his international legacy.
