Paul Scholes Questions Harry Kane's England Future

Paul Scholes has expressed concern that Harry Kane's international career may be nearing its end, suggesting that the striker appeared out of place during recent matches for England. Kane, 31, was left on the bench for a crucial Nations League game against Greece, with Ollie Watkins starting instead; England won 3-0. Although Kane scored a penalty in a subsequent 5-0 win against the Republic of Ireland, his overall performance has drawn criticism, especially following a lackluster showing at Euro 2024. Scholes noted that as players age, they often feel the game speeds up around them, leading to doubts about Kane's future contributions to the national team. Despite these concerns, Kane remains England's all-time leading goalscorer with 69 goals, and he has been performing well at Bayern Munich, scoring 17 goals in 16 matches this season. The debate continues among pundits, with some arguing he still has much to offer, while others echo Scholes' sentiments about his declining impact.
