England captain Harry Kane described playing golf with United States President Donald Trump as a “pretty surreal experience”.

Trump revealed earlier in the week that the pair had previously played a round together, telling reporters: “I think Kane is a great player. I played golf with him and I like him a lot. He’s a good golfer too. He’s really great.”

“I played alright to be honest, but 18 months ago he invited me to play when I was down in Palm Beach,” the 32-year-old said ahead of England’s World Cup quarter-final with Norway on Saturday.

“So when the President invites you somewhere, it was a pretty surreal experience just to meet him and obviously play golf with him.

“His golf is pretty good, to be honest with you. I hope I can play golf as good as him when I’m his age, that’s for sure. A unique experience, but I was just grateful that he invited me to play.”
