Harry Kane isn't sure what Cristiano Ronaldo will do with his souvenir after the pair swapped shirts, but the Tottenham striker already has plans for the No. 7 Real Madrid top he received.

"It's a nice shirt to get and frame," Kane told reporters after Tottenham's 1-1 draw at the Santiago Bernabeu, according to Matt Barlow of the Daily Mail.

Kane, who was front and centre when Raphael Varane scored an own goal before Ronaldo brought the match level, was full of praise for the Portuguese star, whom he idolised as a youngster.

"I asked for his shirt," he said. "He's a big role model of mine, watching him when I was growing up."

He added: "I gave him my shirt. I don't know what he'll do with it. We just said, 'See you in a couple of weeks.'"
