Harry Kane believes his partnership with Dele Alli can be a weapon for England at Euro 2016.

The Alli-assist, Kane-finish combination has reaped seven goals for Tottenham this season - more than any other such pairing in the Premier League.

The seventh was made in a comprehensive win over Bournemouth on Sunday, days before the pair joined up with the England squad for the upcoming friendlies against Germany and Netherlands.

Kane said: "Obviously it depends if we play together, which is down to the manager, but we do have a great understanding.

"Dele's a great player. As a striker, when you make the runs, if you've got a player who can get on the half-turn and play it forward quickly, it's perfect.

"That's what Dele did on Sunday. He turned, saw my run, played it perfectly into my path and I was able to finish it off.

"I think people have seen that this season, not just with Dele, Kyle Walker set me up on Sunday as well. But Dele is a great lad and a great player, as everyone has seen this season.
