Ivan Toney is vying for his spot in England’s Euro 2024 line-up, yet prioritizing Harry Kane’s game time seems to be Gareth Southgate’s agenda.

Having made a scoring entrance from the subs bench during England’s 3-0 victory over Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kane is slated to spearhead the attack at Wembley. Regrettably for Brentford’s frontman Toney,…
