Juventus defender Chiellini has claimed England should have always reached the Euro 2020 final after playing six of their seven matches on home soil.
But he conceded the Three Lions were deserving of their place, and is eager to renew his battle with Tottenham striker Harry Kane again on the field.
"I remember the first time I played against him in a friendly in Turin, and I was immediately impressed with how many different attributes he had," said the 36-year-old.
"He is technical, shoots well from distance, good in the air, takes free-kicks… I am a really big fan of him, just ask Fabio Paratici (former Juventus director of football, now at Spurs). We have spoken about Kane so much over the years.
"I will now have the “good fortune" to come up against him again. It will be a tough battle, but an exciting one."
