Harry Kane addresses England uncertainty with Thomas Tuchel facing decision

The striker has been Three Lions skipper since 2018, holding the armband under both Gareth Southgate and Lee Carsley.

However, Kyle Walker assumed the role against Greece on Thursday, with Kane named on the bench.

Meanwhile, incoming boss Thomas Tuchel could opt to name a new captain once he takes charge in the new year.

Asked whether he is worried that Tuchel will appoint a different skipper of his own, Kane told talkSPORT's Faye Carruthers: "That's going to be Thomas's decision for sure, but I think, ultimately from my point of view, I'm always, I always feel like I'm picked for England on form and on credit.

"It's not just because I'm England captain that I'm here, I've come in off the back of my best season last season individually, and also this season I've started the year really well.

"You know, maybe if I wasn't playing as well as I have in the recent past, then that could be an argument. But ultimately, you know, I feel like I'm at the peak of my game for club, which is ultimately where you get picked from to play for your country.

"So, um, yeah, that's obviously going to be Thomas's decision. But either way, you know, I'll always be excited to represent my country."

Kane took the armband off Walker when he was introduced in the 66th minute in Athens during midweek.

He first captained the Three Lions against Scotland in 2017 before being made permanent skipper ahead of the following year's World Cup.

The 31-year-old is also England's all-time leading scorer with 68 goals in 102 caps since his debut aged 21 in 2015.

Kane previously played under Tuchel for Bayern Munich last season, scoring 44 goals and providing 12 assists in 45 matches.

He has continued his stunning form for the German giants this term with a further 17 strikes and nine assists in just 16 appearances.

Tuchel will take up his role as Three Lions boss from January 1 ahead of next year's World Cup qualifying campaign.

The German's first matches in charge will come during the March international break.

Kane will have a chance to add to his England tally sooner, though, with the final Nations League clash on Sunday.
