Sutton, who earned one cap amid fierce competition in his playing days has hailed the qualities of Harry Kane, Marcus Rashford and Raheem Sterling.
Sutton told the Daily Mail: “England may have a house made of straw at the back, but at least they have their big bad wolves up front. Raheem Sterling, Harry Kane and Marcus Rashford will strike fear into any opponents at Euro 2020. You will not find a better front three in Europe.
“France perhaps come closest. Antoine Griezmann and Kylian Mbappe are superstars, but between them is Chelsea's Olivier Giroud, who struggles to get a game for his club. You'd take Kane over him any day.
“Germany had Timo Werner, Marco Reus and Serge Gnabry lead their attack in a 4-2 loss to Holland last week. Even if Leroy Sane was fit, that would still not excite me as much as England.
“The Dutch use Memphis Depay up front and Kane beats the former Manchester United man every day of the week. Ryan Babel plays alongside Depay and he isn't close to Sterling, Rashford or Jadon Sancho.
“In a 2-1 win over Romania, Spain's attack was Paco Alcacer, Dani Ceballos and Rodrigo. Good players, but not better than England's.
“And no disrespect to Bernardo Silva or Joao Felix, but I see Portugal as a one-man band — they're all about Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored four in Lithuania on Tuesday.
“Gareth Southgate's task now is to build a brick wall at the back. As good as his attack is, England cannot rely solely on Sterling, Kane and Rashford to huff and puff their way to Euro 2020 glory.”
