Emile Heskey: 'Tottenham Hotspur hitman Harry Kane could play for Real Madrid'

Emile Heskey has suggested that red-hot Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane is Real Madrid quality.

The 22-year-old has made a mockery of one-season wonder jibes that came his way earlier in the campaign as Kane leads the Premier League goalscoring charts with 21 goals.

The England marksman, who netted 31 times in all competitions last term, has emerged as one of Europe's leading strikers, and the former Liverpool man can see him turning out for the Spanish giants one day.

"Individually, I am so impressed with this squad," Heskey 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."

Kane, who went eight league games without a goal early on this term, has netted 25 times in all competitions this season.
