Harry Kane's brilliant message to young cancer patient

Harry Kane is currently preparing for the biggest game of his career, but that has not stopped him taking time out of his day to make one young fan’s week.

The England skipper has netted six goals already at the World Cup and will be looking to add to that tally when the Three Lions play Sweden in the quarter-final tomorrow.

If they manage to win that, Kane and England will be two games from glory and the Spurs striker will be dreaming of becoming only the second Englishman ever to lift the trophy as captain.
