Kane, who played under Tuchel last season with Bayern Munich, told Sky Sports: “Until it’s announced obviously I can’t really comment, but we have to wait and see.

“Obviously, I know Thomas well from last year. Fantastic coach, fantastic person, so I am sure the guys at the FA will contact me, when they know more about it.”

Tuchel is understood to be in advanced talks with the FA over becoming the long-term successor to Gareth Southgate.

No deal has been agreed with the 51-year-old coach yet but talks are expected to continue over the next 24 hours.

Tuchel, who has been without a job since he was sacked at Bayern Munich boss in the summer, would become England’s third overseas boss should he be appointed.

The German would follow in the footsteps of Sven-Goran Eriksson and Fabio Capello.
