Aston Villa man Ollie Watkins pressed his own case with a last minute winner in the semi-final.

Ahead of the final, Souness believes Watkin would do well leading the line against Spain.

“Gareth Southgate faces the biggest football decision of his life: whether to drop Harry Kane. If he gets it right, it is a decision that will make Gareth a national hero and, on current evidence, I’d say you have to leave Harry out. I’ve been one of Harry’s greatest supporters,” Souness told Daily Mail.

“The introduction of Ollie Watkins against the Netherlands enlivened the team. Park the fact he scored a wonderful goal, his contribution changed England as an attacking threat.

“Gareth has been fiercely loyal to Harry, often with good reason as he has been a matchwinner on many occasions, and as I’ve said before I wouldn’t like to begin to second guess what England’s manager does next, but he has to seriously consider this change.”
