  WHAT OLLIE WATKINS SAID
  
  On his international aspirations, he said: “Everyone is fighting for a position on the pitch so I want to be the man to play but day in day out. Harry and I have a good relationship. When I’m in the camp I speak to him so there’s no animosity. I’m doing all I can to be on the pitch and so is he. He’s got the records and scored the number of goals he has for a reason. He’s put in a lot of hard work over the years to get there.”

  Kane and Watkins have been in red-hot form over the past year or so, posting some of the best goal-scoring numbers in Europe. There is a chance they will face off against one another in the Champions League at Villa Park, although Kane did suffer an ankle injury last weekend. If Watkins wants to be top dog for England, performing on nights like these may be key.
