Owen Advises Kane to Focus on Finishing for England

England legend Michael Owen has advised Harry Kane to focus on his goal-scoring duties rather than dropping deep, as the Three Lions prepare for the 2026 World Cup.

Michael Owen has delivered tactical advice to Harry Kane and England manager Thomas Tuchel, urging the "best finisher in the world" to concentrate on his primary role. The former Three Lions striker believes Kane's tendency to drop wide and deep takes him away from areas where he can cause the most damage.

As England prepares for the 2026 World Cup, Owen suggested that the team should find ways to maximize Kane's goal-scoring potential, similar to how it worked at Spurs with Heung-min Son. Former Bayern boss Felix Magath echoed these sentiments, stating that Kane should focus on playing to his strengths rather than running around midfield.
