England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford has named the three forwards in Gareth Southgates squad he considers the most dangerous.
The Three Lions are back in action this weekend, taking on Bulgaria on Saturday and Kosovo on Tuesday in qualification for the 2020 European Championship.
Southgate is blessed with a range of attacking talent in his latest squad, and Pickford believes that with three names in particular at his disposal, it has to be rated as one of the best forward lines in the world.
You would have thought so, with the amount of talent we have got out there. Its quality, said Pickford of his attacking team-mates.
Youve got Raheem [Sterling] — who is one of the best attacking players in the world — youve got Jadon [Sancho], who is an unbelievable talent and he shows it every time he comes away, and youve also got Harry [Kane].

With the qualities he has got up front, Harry is one of the best strikers in the world.
He is a proven goal-scorer. So, as long as the lads provide the service for him, he will have the opportunity to score goals. Harry only needs that half a chance and he has got it in him to get goals.
With further attacking options including Marcus Rashford, Callum Wilson, Mason Mount and James Maddison, Southgate can unleash his forwards in a number of different combinations.
Pickford admits having so many dangerous strikers around makes it difficult for him and his fellow goalkeepers in training, but that will benefit them in the long-run.
It is hard for us as goalkeepers, continued the Everton stopper. But that makes us better because you are facing that talent every time you come away with England.
