Tottenham striker Harry Kane is good enough to play for Real Madrid, according to former England international Emile Heskey.

Kane is leading the race for the Premier League's Golden Boot this season, having scored 21 goals in 31 appearances for Mauricio Pochettino's side.

The 22-year-old's form has also led to international recognition and he is set to lead England's front line in tonight's friendly against Germany in Berlin.

Kane is one of five Spurs players to be included in Roy Hodgson's latest selection and Heskey is adamant the forward - plus Dele Alli - could cut it at one of Europe's elite teams, despite their inexperience.

"Individually, I am so impressed with this squad," he told the Daily Mail.

"Who wouldn’t want Harry Kane and Dele Alli and Jamie Vardy in their squad? Alli would go into a lot of top European teams. Harry Kane is the same.

"Could Kane go to Real Madrid? I would have him up there with Karim Benzema, I really would.

"They haven’t got the experience but they get it by playing in games like the ones this summer," he added.

Tottenham all-time England XI 13 show all Tottenham all-time England XI 1/13 Tottenham all-time England XI ...But who makes the cut? 2/13 GK: Paul Robinson The shot-stopper made his international debut one year prior to his move from Leeds to Spurs, but established himself as first choice while at White Hart Lane. He will often be remembered for conceding a comical own goal to Gary Neville, somewhat cruelly, but still gave the Three Lions four years of stellar service.



Established himself as England's No1 at the Lane, Robbo gets the nod ahead of Ray Clemence. 3/13 RB: Alf Ramsey The defender made 32 appearances for the Three Lions throughout the 1950s but went on to surpass all of his playing achievements as a manager. Masterminded England's 1966 World Cup triumph and deservedly claimed his place in the history books. 4/13 CB: Ledley King The former Spurs skipper would have been deemed worthy of far more caps had his career not been plagued by injury. King's problematic knees robbed of both pace and mobility, which ultimately forced him into early retirement, but he is still well regarded throughout the footballing world. 5/13 CB: Sol Campbell The defender remains Public Enemy Number One at White Hart Lane due to an acrimonious switch to north London rivals Arsenal and will not be a popular inclusion. But Campbell was a force at international level and formed a superb partnership alongside Rio Ferdinand. Twice robbed of crucial tournament goals against Argentina and Portugal. 6/13 LB: Cyril Knowles The Yorkshireman (centre) was rejected by Manchester United, Blackpool and Wolves as a youngster but thrived at Spurs. He made over 400 appearances for the Lilywhites but just four for England, due to the presence George Cohen. Died in 1991, aged 47. 7/13 RW: Glenn Hoddle One of both England and Tottenham's finest ever players. The midfielder won the FA Cup twice and the UEFA Cup once during his illustrious spell at White Hart Lane before moving on to Monaco. His England career spanned 11 years and 44 of his 53 Three Lions caps were won while at Spurs, which makes him the club's most capped Englishman. 8/13 CM: Paul Gascoigne The naturally-gifted midfielder made his name at Newcastle before earning a big-money move to Spurs in 1988. He spent three years at White Hart Lane and was catapulted into the nation's consciousness courtesy of a few tears at Italia '90. One FA Cup proved to be the sum of the silverware he won in north London, but he still made a lasting impression on the Spurs faithful. 9/13 CM: Martin Peters Peters (far left) spent 10 years at West Ham before moving to Spurs in 1970 - with Jimmy Greaves going to the other way. Four years earlier he had scored against Germany in the World Cup final at the age of 23 to secure his place in English football's pantheon. 10/13 LW: Chris Waddle A penalty miss, plus a questionable haircut, proved to be a stain on his reputation at international level, but Waddle's talent cannot be denied. Blessed with a languid style, he would have won more caps if the English psyche did not distrust his maverick tendencies. 11/13 ST: Jimmy Greaves Greaves is Tottenham's all-time top goalscorer with a total of 266 goals in 379 appearances. He arrived at Spurs from AC Milan in 1961 and was as ruthless as they come in front of goal. He scored three goals en route to the 1966 World Cup final but was cruelly ruled out of the final through injury. Arguably the nation's finest goalscorer of all-time. 12/13 ST: Gary Lineker The Leicester-born striker had some career. He played for the Foxes and Everton before capping a superb individual year with the Golden Boot at the 1986 World Cup. His exploits earned a move to Barcelona, where he spent three years, before returning to English football with Spurs. He hadn't forgotten where the goal was and found the net on 80 occasions in just 138 appearances in Spurs colours.

Alli is set to win his fifth international cap this evening, after excelling during his debut season in England's top tier, and is widely expected to secure a place at Euro 2016 alongside Kane this summer.

The teenager's partnership with Kane has proven to be profitable at club level and Hodgson will be hopeful the duo's understanding can be replicated on the international stage.
