Harry Kane has created his ultimate striker from eight different player attributes and has some surprising additions to his list.
Kane was rested by Gareth Southgate for England’s match against North Macedonia on Monday evening, with Ollie Watkins starting up front for the Three Lions.
The England captain was asked to put together a combination of different football skills to create an ideal striker.
Some of the categories you could choose from were movement, speed, heading, finishing power and work rate.
Kane included a variety of footballers in his build, such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Peter Crouch and Edinson Cavani, but also had a surprise midfielder selected as part of a striker.

Veteran superstar Cristiano Ronaldo was selected for his pace in Kane’s build-up into the ultimate striker
Peter Crouch was also chosen as leader as he holds the record for the most headed goals in the Premier League
The Bayern Munich striker picked England star boy Jude Bellingham for his work rate, and he was the only midfielder picked.
Kane said: ‘I’m going, he’s playing a little higher up, Jude Bellingham.’
The Real Madrid midfielder has been deployed much further forward this season for both club and country, scoring thirteen goals in fourteen games for Los Blancos.
Kane also chose Cristiano Ronaldo for his speed, something he was known for throughout his career, the 6ft 4in Peter Crouch for his heading ability and himself for his finishing.
Former England captain Wayne Rooney got the nod for his link-up play, while Uruguayan striker Edinson Cavani’s move was picked by Kane.
Elsewhere, the dribbling of France captain Kylian Mbappe and the power of Didier Drogba completed Kane’s ultimate striker.
