Harry Kane has just won the Ballon d’Or and remains the best goalscorer we've ever had. But eventually, England will have to work out what comes next. Ali, George and David look ahead to life after Kane.

Who are the potential replacements? Could Jude Bellingham eventually play as a nine? Is Morgan Rogers a better option? Could Anthony Gordon develop into a centre forward? And what about the next generation? Liam Delap, Will Lankshear, Divin Mubama, Shim Mheuka, Alejandro Gomes Rodríguez and Brian Madjo.
