Jack Grealish has hailed England teammate Harry Kane as the best player he has ever played with, report Sky Sports.
Grealish, who is England’s new hero following his masterful cameo against Germany, assisted the Three Lions’ second goal of the game, putting it on a plate for Kane who finished in typically clinical fashion.
The Aston Villa captain, barring a loan spell with Notts County, has spent his entire career at Villa Park, so hasn’t had the blessing of playing on the same team as some of the world’s best until being called up by England.

One player in particular who Grealish is extremely thankful to be playing alongside is Tottenham centre-forward Kane, who he’s quoted by Sky Sports singing the praises of:
“It is obviously good to get your first goal at a tournament, especially when all you lot would not shut up about it.”
“It is obviously good. To get his first one, he will be buzzing but no one in there would ever doubt H. He is the best player I have ever played with. He is unbelievable. He is an unbelievable professional on and off the pitch.”
“When you see him around the place, this is why he is England captain. The thing that sticks out is that he is not just a goalscorer.”
“There are players from the past who just scored goals, goals, goals. In my opinion he will break the Premier League one and the England one but he is not just a goalscorer. He is unbelievable.”
“Like when he drops deep and finds passes and puts it through people’s legs.”
“He is obviously unbelievable and I am buzzing for him that he has obviously got the first goal and hopefully for all of us there are many more to come.”
CaughtOffside have reported that Grealish will sign for Manchester City after Euro 2020 in an £88m deal. If that is to be proven true, he ought to get used to playing with the best in the business.
