• ‘A physically fantastic striker. Technically he surprises you’
• England play Spain in Nations League match on Monday

The Spain captain, Sergio Ramos, has continued in his role as football’s grand pantomime villain by cheekily suggesting Harry Kane would be a success in La Liga.

The Tottenham striker, who is enduring something of a drought at international level, has been heavily linked with Ramos’s club, Real Madrid, in recent years. The two will face each other on Monday night in the Nations League and Ramos, who is no stranger to controversy following his exploits in the Champions League final against Liverpool, singled out Kane for praise before the match in Seville.

• ‘I don’t think my game has dipped’
• Kane expects tougher test against Spain

Harry Kane has defended his recent form and insisted his all-round game has not dipped in the aftermath of a busy summer at the World Cup and early return to pre-season training, with the England captain declaring himself fit and eager to lead the side out against Spain.

The Tottenham striker struck the bar against Croatia on Friday and had another effort ruled out for offside, leaving the Golden Boot winner without a goal in six games for his country to equal his worst run of scoreless games at that level.
