Harry Kane to put rivalry with Jamie Vardy aside for England

Harry Kane insists that he can put his rivalry with Jamie Vardy aside when the pair play for England at Euro 2016.

Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane has insisted that he will put his rivalry with Jamie Vardy aside when the pair join together for England at Euro 2016.

The two forwards were battling one another in the Premier League title race, but Vardy's Leicester City managed to edge out Spurs.

In the scoring department, though, Kane came out on top as he scooped the Golden Boot with 25 goals, while Vardy missed out having netted 24.

Towards the end of the season, Kane posted an image of stalking lions after Leicester dropped points in the race, and Vardy responded with a picture of Mufasa from the The Lion King falling off a cliff once the Foxes had won the English crown.

The duo could both be selected by England manager Roy Hodgson to start at the European Championships, and Kane has insisted that it would be "very exciting" to play with the Leicester forward.

"I just congratulated him and Danny Drinkwater on winning the Premier League when we met up, but there's nothing been said about the Lions yet," Goal.com quotes Kane as saying. "It was just a bit of banter between fellow professionals. I gave him a bit on Instagram, so if you're happy to dish it out, you've got to take it, haven't you?

"Winning the golden boot is nice, and it's something I'm very proud of, but he won the Premier League, so there's not a lot I can say! But it's all about the Three Lions now, we're all concentrating on England.

"Jamie has had a fantastic season and scored a lot of goals, so if the manager puts us together it will be very exciting."

The duo have already joined up with England ahead of Sunday's friendly against Turkey.
