The pacy and powerful striker is being billed as the long-term replacement for Alan Shearer. Though not the most prolific of goalscorers, Heskey is invariably a handful for defenders, and possesses the raw skill and shooting ability to suggest that he will become a much more regular scorer. He has played at U-18, U-21 and ‘B’ team level for the national team, and he was a revelation in his start for the full team against Argentina in February 2000. The naturally two-footed player often scores spectacular strikes, and he revels at using his speed and strength to take on defenders. Moved to Liverpool for a record transfer fee.
