Former Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp has revealed that Harry Kane told him that he 'loves' playing with Manchester City attacker Jack Grealish for England.
Grealish and Kane have played alongside each other on 20 occasions for the Three Lions, with the pair combining for one goal and on the same winning side 10 times. The England captain was linked with a move to City in the same summer that Grealish moved to the Etihad, but a move failed to materialise.
Kane will lead the line for Gareth Southgate's side at the World Cup in Qatar - starting on Monday against Iran. While the 29-year-old is a certain starter for his country, Grealish, on the other hand, is not expected to start against Carlos Queiroz's in the opening match of the group stage.

However, Redknapp has suggested that he would start the Blues attacker against Iran, claiming that it is an opportunity to show just how good the Three Lions are. He also revealed that Kane is a massive fan of Grealish because of what he brings to the side.
"It is a chance to really get at them and show what fantastic attacking players we’ve got — which means Grealish must start for me. It is not just me who is a big fan of the Manchester City star either," Redknapp wrote in his Sun column.
"I watched him against Chelsea in the League Cup this month and just wanted him to get the ball. And I remember speaking to Harry Kane and him telling me he loves to play with Jack because of those little balls he plays into the pockets around the box."
It remains to be seen who Southgate will start on the wings on Monday, with Grealish, Bukayo Saka, Raheem Sterling and Phil Foden all vying to start.
