## Bellingham as option
Tuchel thinks Jude Bellingham, who scored 10 times in 12 matches for England since the 2026 World Cup, could play as a false nine.
## Bellingham's potential
Ian Dennis, BBC Radio 5 Live's senior football reporter, said Bellingham will eclipse Kane in appearances and is the person who will replace him.
## Calvert-Lewin's case
Dominic Calvert-Lewin has 17 goals in 40 Premier League appearances since joining Leeds United last summer.
## Other options
Players like Phil Foden, Cole Palmer, and Morgan Gibbs-White could fill the Bellingham role, but Paul Robinson said Bellingham is not a natural number nine.
## Young prospects
Aston Villa's 17-year-old Brian Madjo scored five goals in pre-season, including one in the UEFA Super Cup.
## Kane's longevity
Kane said, 'As you see on the other end with Leo there, he's still performing at the highest level. So I never want to put a limit on these things.'
