PETE JENSON: Harry Kane moving to Real Madrid just makes SENSE... he may want Alan Shearer's record, but challenging for the top honours while surrounded by Vinicius and Co could see him become England's greatest footballing export

Harry Kane was out on loan at Millwall in 2012 when Luka Modric played his last season at Tottenham, but if he wants to consult someone about a possible move to Real Madrid to replace Karim Benzema he could do worse than ask the Croatian Ballon d'Or winner.

Modric will tell him not to think twice about switching to the Bernabeu. They love an unassuming showman and Kane fits that description every bit as well as Modric who is adored at the club like no one else.

It smacks of contradiction 'unassuming' and 'showman', but it's the mix of sublime moments of skill and then the unaffected celebration – the stepping back from the spotlight having dazzled.
