Real Madrid star Kroos backs England for Euro2016 glory

Toni Kroos believes England have the quality to triumph at this summer's European Championships.

The Real Madrid midfielder and his Germany teammates are preparing for Saturday night's international friendly with the Three Lions at Wembley and ahead of the encounter suggested that perhaps Roy Hodgson's outfit are capable of being crowned Euro2016 champions.

"England are a very good team and have a good chance this summer," said Kroos.

"If you look at their squad they've clearly got some good players. They know what they're doing and have fast attacking players.

"They may only be friendlies, but we want to try and win."
