Harry Kane built his ultimate player that includes Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Roy Keane

Harry Kane’ ultimate player includes Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Roy Keane, but also has some surprises.

The Bayern Munich star has had an astonishing start to life in Bavaria, having netted 31 goals in only 26 Bundesliga games.

But when asked by 11TeamSports to build his ultimate player, Kane attributed eight players to eight different traits.

Manchester City defender Kyle Walker was chosen for speed, with the 30-year-old England forward having played with him during their time together at Tottenham as well as with the national team.

Kane then picked John Terry as his defender, with the former Chelsea centre-back making 492 Premier League appearances, winning five Premier League titles and keeping 214 clean sheets in the process.

Man City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne got the nod for passing, given his qualities for both club and country.

Lionel Messi was unsurprisingly selected with Kane highlighting the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner’s dribbling.

The Argentina World Cup winner’s best dribbling season statistically, in fact, was back in 2010/11, where he averaged an astonishing 7.4 successful dribbles per game in LaLiga.

Cristiano Ronaldo was then selected by Kane for shooting, with the five-time Ballon d’Or winner managing 879 goals in 1,213 appearances to date.

Roy Keane was picked by Kane for the readability of the game, the Irishman serving as a midfield maestro for Manchester United over a 12-year period.

Anticipating his opponents’ moves, he was an exceptional organiser and communicator, often barking out instructions to his teammates to ensure everyone was in the right position.

The now-TV pundit was also capable of adapting his game to suit the situation, often dropping deep to help defend or pushing forward to support the attack.

Brazilian Ronaldo was given the flare trait, having often deployed every trick in the book during his playing days.

Joe Hart was named the craziest. They both shared a dressing room when the current Celtic goalkeeper ended up at Tottenham for a season. The duo have also spent time together on England duty.

Kane has had a blistering campaign so far and is hoping to get his hands on a first ever trophy with Bayern at the end of the season.

His side are currently second, ten points behind league leaders Bayer Leverkusen, and face Heidenheim at the weekend.

Bayern’s best chance of winning a trophy this term comes in the form of the Champions League where they face Premier League leaders Arsenal in the quarter-finals.
