Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins hopes to put down an England marker when he faces Bayern Munich in the Champions League tonight with Harry Kane still hoping to be fit.

Against the Netherlands in the semi-finals, Watkins proved England’s hero — and by now a not-so-unlikely hero, on the back of a 27-goal season for Villa. His sensational tight-angle winner with 89 minutes and 59 seconds on the clock was his first major tournament goal, but also arguably a better strike than all 15 of Kane’s.

Star Aston Villa forward Ollie Watkins has claimed he wants to supplant Harry Kane in the England national team. Kane has essentially been the main starting center forward for the Three Lions over the last nine years.
