The Paris Saint-Germain striker namedropped the pair when asked who his favourite English players are he told The Telegraph: “I really like Kane and Sancho. They’re two incredible players and I have a special love for them because I like players that have their qualities.”

Kane scooped the Golden Boot at the 2018 World Cup in Russia and will be hoping to come away from Qatar with not only the same accolade, but also the Jules Rimet trophy, having come up short in last summer’s Euro 2020 final against Italy.
A lot of England’s hopes will rest on the Spurs marksman after the conclusion of the group stages, however, he has on occasion gone missing in big matches in the past and will want to lead from the front.
