England winger Anthony Gordon has offered a candid and lighthearted insight into his relationship with captain Harry Kane, admitting he often pesters the star striker for advice. Speaking while with the England squad, Gordon quipped: “I probably do his head in most of the time to be honest,” before adding that he tries to “pick anything I can from him because he’s a genius.”
Gordon, 24, said his desire to learn from Kane is no mere formality — it’s born of respect for Kane’s consistency at the highest level. He stated that Kane has been “on fire this year,” and described him as someone whose footballing intelligence he actively seeks to absorb.
Beyond the anecdotes, Gordon used the opportunity to reflect on his own quest for improvement and squad security. He admitted to feeling a sense of paranoia about maintaining his place in England’s ranks: “I think you’ve almost got to be a bit paranoid that you’re not going to get in, because it pushes you even further.”
