Harry Kane has warned his fellow England players that the strong sense of togetherness and commitment built under Gareth Southgate could be lost quickly if they do not commit to the national team in the future.

Harry Kane has said that England’s senior players know that the team culture can be lost quickly if they are “not careful”. The 31-year-old was speaking for the first time since his eye-catching interview this week where he reminded his team-mates of the importance of reporting for England duty this month.

The foundations that turned England into a force on the international stage were crumbling before Gareth Southgate stepped down as manager, so Harry Kane felt the time was right to make his point.

Harry Kane has warned that the England team's culture "takes a long time to build and maybe not so long to lose" and called on the senior players to help maintain a positive feel around the camp.
