AC Milan striker Giroud: Kane and I very similar

AC Milan striker Olivier Giroud has said he sees similarities between himself and Tottenham star Harry Kane ahead if England v France on Saturday.

The Frenchman had his say on his opposite number with the World Cup Quarter-Final clash approaching quickly.

Giroud said: "I've spoken to Hugo Lloris about Harry Kane because he has a profile that can maybe be compared to mine.

"He's very powerful and over the last few years he's moved further down the pitch to be more involved in the game.

"He's also very good at assists and a good finisher that's clinical. He's generous with his team mates and has the ability to hurt opponents.

"He's obviously a great asset to the English team. There's similarities between us but differences too."
