HARRY KANE has described Kevin De Bruyne as the Premier League star he would most like to play with – amid rumours linking him with a move to Manchester City.
The league champions are joined by Chelsea and Manchester United in chasing down the 27-year-old after he told Tottenham he wanted to leave.
It is thought Kane would prefer a move to the Etihad and the opportunity to work with playmaker De Bruyne appears to be a tempting one.
During an episode of The Overlap, the striker was asked by Gary Neville who he dreams of playing in front of.
Kane didn’t hesitate and replied: “De Bruyne for sure.
“When I watch De Bruyne play… he’s a special, special player.
“And some of the balls I see him put in for City are just a striker’s dream if I’m honest.
“You see it year in year out, he’s an outstanding player.
“With the ball, off the ball, pressing. But his delivery is as good as I’ve ever seen.”

SunSport revealed this week that City and United are formulating an £80million, five-year contract offer to persuade Kane to join.
The England star is expected to cost north of £120m in terms of a transfer fee, despite his warning to chairman Daniel Levy that the club will never make as much money through a sale as they will now.
He said earlier in the interview: “I don’t know, I mean [Levy] might want to sell me.
“He might be thinking, ‘If I could get £100m for you, then why not?’.
“I’m not going to be worth that for the next two or three years.”

Nevertheless, United and Chelsea in particular are said to be weighing up players-plus-cash deals to get the transfer over the line.
The Red Devils have reportedly eyed Jesse Lingard or Anthony Martial to potentially head to North London.
And Thomas Tuchel could dangle outcasts Tammy Abraham and Kepa Arrizabalaga in Spurs’ direction – or even Callum Hudson-Odoi.
