'Have to be careful' - Richarlison sends ominous Harry Kane warning to Brazil team-mates amid England striker's record-breaking season at Bayern Munich

Richarlison, who spent a season with Harry Kane at Tottenham, has warned his Brazil team-mates about the threat the in-form Bayern Munich star could pose ahead of their friendly clash against the Three Lions.

Speaking to CGTN Sports Scene, Richarlison said: "I think everyone knows Harry Kane, right? I think we in the Brazil team have to be careful with him because he’s their team’s top scorer, he’s their captain, he’s the guy who organises their team. I played with him at Tottenham, I know his ability."

Kane has enjoyed a sublime run of form since joining Bayern Munich from Spurs in the summer. He has already broken multiple goalscoring records in Germany and recently became the first-ever player to score 31 or more goals in his debut Bundesliga season. The England captain has already scored 37 goals and provided 12 assists in 35 matches across all competitions for the Bavarian club.

The 30-year-old is currently nursing an ankle injury, which he picked up last week during a Bundesliga clash against Darmstadt. The striker joined the England squad on Tuesday, but it remains to be seen if he will take to the field against the Selecao on Saturday at Wembley.
