Vinicius: Kane one of world's best - he reminds me of Benzema

Real Madrid forward Vinicius Junior has hailed Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane as one of the world’s elite, likening the England captain to former Blancos talisman Karim Benzema. Speaking ahead of the clubs’ upcoming Champions League semi-final, Vinicius praised Kane’s all-round game and pointed to similarities with Benzema’s influence during the Frenchman’s trophy-laden spell in Madrid. The Brazilian’s endorsement underlines the respect Kane commands across Europe and sets an intriguing subplot for the high-stakes encounter between the European heavyweights.
