England captain Harry Kane has confirmed he once played golf with US President Donald Trump, describing ​the experience as “surreal” and praising the president’s game.

Trump ‌told reporters earlier this week that he had played golf with Kane, calling the England striker a great player and a ​good golfer.

Speaking on Friday on the eve of ​their World Cup quarter-final match against Norway, Kane confirmed the ⁠round took place in Palm Beach, Florida, about 18 ​months ago.

“I played all right, to be honest,” Kane ​told reporters in Miami.

“He invited me to play when I was down in Palm Beach. So yeah, 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,” Kane added.

“I hope I can play as well as him when I’m his age. So yeah, unique experience and I was just grateful he ​invited me ​down to play.”

Trump ⁠had complimented the Bayern Munich forward on his Truth Social platform following England’s 3-2 ​last-16 victory over Mexico, writing: “Harry Kane of England ​is ⁠a GREAT player!!!”

The following day, Trump revealed the pair had played golf together.

“I think Kane is a great player,” ⁠Trump ​said. “I played golf with him, ​and I like him a lot. He’s a good golfer. He’s really ​great.”
