Tottenham's Harry Kane would thrive in La Liga - Sergio Ramos

Sergio Ramos singled out Harry Kane as England's main thread ahead of their UEFA Nations League clash and said the Tottenham forward would suit La Liga.

Kane won the Golden Boot at the World Cup after scoring six goals for England, and even though he has gone six games without an international goal, Ramos recognises Kane's danger.

When asked at a news conference on Sunday whether any England players would succeed playing in Spain, Ramos replied: "Kane is physical but he is also extraordinary technically. Maybe he surprises a lot of people, but not me. They're dangerous. We have studied them well and hope it won't be their day."

Kane, 25, signed a new contract with Tottenham through the 2023-24 season in June, but he has been frequently linked to a move to Real Madrid after winning the Premier League Golden Boot in the 2015-16 and 2016-17 seasons.

England held Croatia to a goalless draw in the Nations League on Friday and now encounter Spain, who Ramos said are playing "unique and fabulous" football as they rediscover their form under Luis Enrique following a disappointing World Cup.

Spain were eliminated in the round of 16 after coach Julen Lopetegui left for Madrid on the eve of the tournament.

But Luis Enrique, the former Barcelona coach, has led them to three consecutive wins, including a 6-0 victory over World Cup finalists Croatia last month.

A point against England would seal a place for Spain in the final four of the UEFA Nations League.

"Not everything was positive [after the World Cup]," Ramos said. "Football is about results, that's what stays with the fans. And after the World Cup, the mood was down. But with the generational change, some players have left, the change of coach, a little order and discipline has been restored. The results and the performances have been good.

"We want to maintain that excitement because the fans are seeing unique, fabulous football. The signs are good. We're on the right path. We want to continue with that dynamic, keep winning games and try to win and qualify for the final four."

Spain beat England 2-1 at Wembley last month, but Ramos said they would not be taking the rematch lightly.

"We know the level of difficulty is tremendous," he said. "We have a great team in front of us. We did really well at Wembley, but there are things to keep improving.

"This is another chance against world-class players. Players in the Premier League are physical, but they also have a lot of quality.

Luis Enrique did not single out an individual England player who he believed posed a threat but had kind words for Southgate, who he joked was helping him improve his English.

"I like Southgate as a coach," Luis Enrique said. "I like the way he interprets the game by trying to play with the ball and adapting to his players, which is something we all must do.

"[His] new contract shows [the FA] have confidence in him. Also, following his news conferences is helping me with my English. It's like having an English teacher for free!"

Spain have six points from their two games so far and England and Croatia have one each. A point for Spain will see them top the group, but Luis Enrique is targeting all three.

"The only result which interests us is a win," he said. "Don't forget, we're playing against a young team that does things well. But we want to win the game -- that is our only focus."
