Tottenham striker Kane confident of forming England partnership with Leicester rival Vardy

With the FA Cup Final taking place this weekend England boss Roy Hodgson only has Tottenham's Harry Kane and Leicester's Jamie Vardy available to lead his attack in Sunday's first Euro 2016 warm-up friendly against Turkey.

"We had a bit of banter over social media but everything is all good," he said. "I saw him earlier [on Wednesday] and congratulated him on winning the League," he said.

"He won the Premier League, so there isn't much I can really say — winning the Golden Boot is always nice but nothing has really been said about that. It's something I'm proud of and very happy with.

"Whoever the manager wants to pick, we will be ready. Jamie has had a fantastic season, so if we are playing together it will be very exciting. We are different types of player — he has got a lot of pace and can run in behind.

"That'll probably allow me to drop off and get into space. If the manager puts us together, we will be ready to go."
