Harry Kane presents Jarell Quansah with legacy cap on senior England debut
Bayer Leverkusen's Jarell Quansah was presented with his legacy cap by Bayern Munich's Harry Kane after making his senior England debut in the 2-0 FIFA World Cup 2026 qualifying victory over Albania.
Quansah, 22, played the full 90 minutes in Tirana, helping the Three Lions to an eighth consecutive win-to-nil in World Cup qualifying.
After the final whistle, England captain Kane led the traditional dressing-room ceremony, handing the Leverkusen defender his legacy cap to mark the occasion.
An England legacy cap is a red velvet cap with a player's unique legacy number embroidered on it, awarded to all senior England national team players upon their international debut.
Kane, who netted twice on the night - his 77th and 78th goals in an England shirt - was full of praise for his new teammate.
"It’s amazing to have you as part of the squad. Obviously, your performance was top drawer," the 2024/25 Bundesliga winner said. "It’s never easy coming in and making a debut, especially away from home in a tough game where they want to perform and they want to win. So, congratulations and a clean sheet!"
Quansah - already a 36-time youth international - humbly accepted the memento, saying: "First and foremost, this is one of the greatest days of my life. Being part of the group and [being] perfect in qualifying obviously means a lot to me… It’s a massive honour and I’m so grateful."
Quansah will be back in Bundesliga action at the weekend when fifth-placed Leverkusen travel to Wolfsburg, looking to build on their statement 6-0 win over Heidenheim prior to the November international break.
The former Liverpool man has made 13 appearances in all competitions since moving to the BayArena in the summer.
