Tottenham striker Harry Kane says Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric would be a worthy Ballon d'Or winner.

Kane believes the Real Madrid man deserves the awards he has been collecting throughout 2018, such as The Best.

"He's definitely up there," Kane said in a press conference on Saturday when asked where Modric ranks in terms of the world's best players.

"I played a little bit with him when I was younger at Spurs.

"Everyone knows how good a player he is and he has been doing it year after year.

"He deserves all the awards he's getting, but hopefully he might have a quiet night tomorrow and we can win the game."
