DANNY ROSE flies out with his Tottenham team-mates ahead of their mouthwatering Champions League clash against Real Madrid.

The left-back is yet to feature for Mauricio Pochettino this season but has kept his boss on his toes, to say the least.

SunSport told you how Rose said he would be open to discussing a bid for him with boss Poch.

And in an attack at the club's wage structure, he demanded players deserved to be paid the market rate.

Those comments seem especially prescient given news Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho is plotting a £50million move for the England defender.

Rose was pictured behind Jan Vertonghen as he made his way to the plane for the flight to Madrid.

Harry Kane was present also - after being hailed by Zinedine Zidane.

The Bernabeu chief labelled Kane a "complete player".

Zizou said: "I don't know what will happen in the future but in the present he is a very important player and a key player for Tottenham.

"He is very good at everything, but what he does well is that he always goes towards the goal and his speed is very good.

"He is a complete player. He didn't seem to be [when he was younger] but in the end, that is what he is."

Spurs will be desperate to make it three wins from three in their Champions League campaign.

But they know they must up their game from the 1-0 win over Bournemouth that came courtesy of a Christian Eriksen strike.

And it was Eriksen who warned Zidane that Spurs are more than just the "Harry Kane team" - labelled as such by Man City manager Pep Guardiola.

He said: "No one wants to be called a one-man team, if it is meant seriously. I don’t know if it was.

"It is a team game and if you have respect you probably don’t say it. It maybe was a joke but I don’t know.

"It is all about the team. Of course with the chances he gets Harry has a greater chance of scoring. He will score goals and we will help him score.

"But we have a strong enough team that if Harry doesn’t score then someone else will. Anyone is good enough to finish. This time the ball fell for me, but it was a team performance."
