Bayern Munich and England striker Harry Kane has expressed the desire to play alongside Argentina superstar Lionel Messi.

Messi is regarded as the best footballer in history by fans, media and players.

Messi recently won his 8th Ballon d'Or award, perhaps to solidify his status as the greatest footballer to walk the earth.

Just like Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi took his talent to a level never seen before. The two legends were scoring goals for fun and winning whichever trophies came their way.

Ronaldo and Messi were on a different level and played on star-studded teams, so to compare Kane to them would be unfair. However, the Englishman held his own in the last few years.

He has won three Premier League Golden Boots and the 2018 World Cup Golden Boot, per Transfermarkt. Therefore, he is one of the best strikers of his generation.

Kane wants to play with Messi

Speaking to ESPN, Kane was asked the player he would love to play against. He said Messi, and he gave a reason why.

“I would love to play with Messi. He is one of the greatest players to ever play our game. I’m sure he’d be able to give me a few assists.”

A Kane and Messi partnership would be potent. Both are elite finishers, but they can also create. After leaving PSG in the summer, Messi went to light up MLS with Inter Miami.

Meanwhile, Kane is enjoying a phenomenal start at Bayern Munich with 19 goals in his first 15 games, with 15 of them coming in the Bundesliga.

Harry Kane makes Bundesliga history

After bagging another hat-trick, Kane now has 15 Bundesliga goals. No player in the league's history has ever scored 15 goals in their first 10 games, as Sports Brief earlier reported.

Kane is now the leading scorer in the Bundesliga after ten games, one ahead of in-form Stuttgart Serhou Guirassy.

Kane will be looking to add the Bundesliga Golden Boot to the three he won in the Premier League at the end of the season.
