Owen Advises Kane to Focus on Finishing for England

Michael Owen has offered tactical advice to Harry Kane and England manager Thomas Tuchel, urging the captain to focus on his primary strength as the world's best finisher.

Former England striker Owen believes Kane should concentrate on scoring goals rather than dropping deep or wide, despite his value as a team player. This advice comes as Kane continues his remarkable form with both England and Bayern Munich, having scored 78 goals for his country and 124 for Bayern, while winning Bundesliga titles and Golden Boots.

The recommendation echoes sentiments from former Bayern boss Felix Magath, who suggested Kane's role should be primarily about finding the net. Owen acknowledges that Kane's effectiveness can depend on his teammates, particularly when playing with pacey forwards like Heung-min Son at Tottenham, but emphasizes that the Three Lions captain's primary 'job' is to score goals.
