Seasoned Premier League manager Harry Redknapp has admitted that there’s every chance Harry Kane could leave Tottenham Hotspur if the club fail to deliver their promises.
The centre-forward is one of Manchester United’s top transfer priorities for the upcoming transfer window yet there’s still doubt if the England international will be willing to move out of London and join the OT outfit next season.
But according to Harry Redknapp, Harry Kane could head for greener pastures as he looks to add silverware to his trophy cabinet.
The former Tottenham manager Redknapp told talkSPORT, as reported by Metro: ‘I suppose it’s always a possibility [that Kane will leave]. I’d like to see him stay, but they do need to win something. It’s been a long time and you can only see them winning a cup competition.
‘I really can’t see them challenging at the moment now for the Premier League, they’re not as good as they were two or three years ago, for sure.
‘Two or three years back I thought there was a Premier League title to be won with that team, when they had Walker and [Danny] Rose who were absolutely flying and [Eriksen] was in great form.
‘But they don’t look anywhere near that at the moment to me and I think they’re way behind Liverpool and Manchester City now. But I’m sure there’s a cup competition [they can win].
‘It’s a difficult one, I’m sure [Kane] loves the club, he’s come through the youth system and it’s his team, but he’s also ambitious and I would think if it doesn’t happen this year he could possibly look to move on.
‘And everybody in the world would want him, he’s a top, top player and a great guy.’
Some reports claim Daniel Levy could quote as much as £200 million for the services of Harry Kane but the kind of financial situation they are in right now, there’s every chance the club might even accept half of that.
Spurs have taken a £175 million loan from the Bank of England in order to survive the effects of the unexpected lockdown meaning Jose Mourinho will have to rely on free transfers and swap deals this summer.
And if the manager is really eager to land a big name player then Levy will have to part ways with one of the club’s current superstars. Now we are just waiting to see if that will be Harry Kane or not.
Having said this, Man United are not the only club interested in signing the Three Lions captain as La Liga giants Real Madrid have also been linked with him. So if Spurs do have to sell him, the Daniel Levy will want to send him out as far as possible.
