Chelsea hero Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink says Tammy Abraham should push to replace Tottenham ace Harry Kane as England's No9.

The in-form 22-year-old, who has scored seven goals in seven games for Frank Lampard's side, was named in the England squad on Thursday for the European Qualifiers against Czech Republic and Bulgaria.

"As a young boy when you dream of being a footballer you want to play at the highest level and the highest level is England," Hasselbaink told Sky Sports News.

"He has been called up. He is going to get the chance and he has to compare himself with the best [striker] and that is Kane at the moment.

"He has to try to get Kane's position. It is not easy but that is going to be the next step. He has been invited for the England national squad. Now can you make that place yours?

"The only way is to do well for Chelsea, keep on scoring and when you go with England show that you can do it on that level as well."
