Gareth Southgate will be heavily reliant on Kane at Euro 2024, while Musiala has been tipped as Germany's poster boy.
And the former Tottenham star has admitted he has teased his teammate over his international allegiances, considering Musiala could have played for England having come up through Chelsea's academy.
He told ITV: "I have given him a bit of banter for choosing Germany over England, obviously he could have played for England.
"Maybe if I was here a few years earlier, I could have got my arm round his shoulder and got him for us."

But Kane has admitted he fancies meeting Musiala this summer, along with plenty of his other Bayern teammates who play for Germany.
He added: "Jamal's great, obviously you have all the Germany internationals here and there's not been any kind of banter flying around yet, maybe in the next few weeks it will.
