The UK U21 boss supports Nketiah to imitate Shearer and Kane
Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah could reach the level of Alan Shearer and Harry Kane, says Aidy Boothroyd, England U21 boss.
The 21-year-old has scored 13 goals for the Under-21s, the same number as the top scorers of all time, Shearer and Francis Jeffers.
And Nketiah’s international manager supported him in “doing big things”.
“There are always comparisons with top players across generations,” said Boothroyd, as quoted by the evening standard.
“If you look at Alan and his career and Harry Kane and his career – as for Eddie, when he gets to the point where he’s at goal like these two players and you just know that it is him when you score make the step from young to older player.
