Darren Anderton has likened England captain hopeful Harry Kane to how Alan Shearer used to lead from the front.
The striker has now scored in each of the four games he has worn the armband as manager Gareth Southgate keeps the Tottenham man waiting on a decision over a permanent skipper.
Southgate recently praised Kane for "leading by example" and former Spurs and England midfielder Anderton says there are similarities to Shearer's approach during his 34 games as captain.
"Harry can score a goal from any situation and as players you like to see someone leading the line," Anderton told Press Assocation Sport.
"For me, seeing Alan Shearer at Wembley smash someone like Scotland's Colin Hendry in a big game, it gave us that buzz. You see your team-mate like that and you think, 'We're winning this, we're up for this'.
"I think Harry Kane is that sort of player for Tottenham and England, and with him having the captaincy it will take him even further forward.
"He's still young but I think the players look up to him. I think he would be a good pick."
