Noel Blake delighted by Harry Kane England call-up

Former England Under-19 manager Noel Blake hopes that Harry Kane's inclusion in the senior squad will pave the way for more English youngsters to emulate him.

Former England Under-19s manager Noel Blake hopes that Harry Kane's inclusion in the senior squad will inspire more English youngsters to follow in his footsteps.

The 21-year-old striker has earned his first call-up to Roy Hodgson's squad after a breakthrough season for Tottenham Hotspur, where he has netted 29 goals in all competitions.

Blake, who worked with Kane for the Under-19s, believes that there are promising English players like the Spurs frontman who are beginning to show their potential.

"I'm buzzing to see Harry in the senior squad," Blake told The Guardian.

"There is nothing greater for us, as national coaches, than to see them go on to the seniors. The big thing for me is that there are so many good, young English players who are showing that by the way, we can play."

Kane could make his first England appearance in Friday's Euro 2016 qualifier against Lithuania at Wembley.
