Harry Kane

Harry Kane is highly likely to dominate the summer transfer news agenda, due largely to his contract at Tottenham only having a year to remain.

 

Kane made no secret of his desire to look for another challenge in the summer of 2021 - one that bore a more realistic chance of securing the trophies that have eluded him at Spurs - and he was the subject of bids from Manchester City.

 

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy refused to sell - and his modus operandi this summer is again to keep Kane at all costs. But, with just a year left on his contract, Tottenham being without a full-time manager and a place in the top-four hanging in the balance, the balance of power has shifted.

Kane - the England captain - is not actually the Tottenham club captain, but with Hugo Lloris' future up in the air this summer, could Spurs tempt Kane into staying with a new deal and the full-time captaincy?

Kane loves the club - his family attend matches home and away - but after the chaos of the past month, which included Antonio Conte's sacking and doubts over the status of sporting director Fabio Paratici - he could be forgiven for wanting to know what Tottenham's plans are for the future before recommitting to the club.

 

At 29 years old, the next contract will arguably be one of the last long-term deals Kane signs - and he will want it to be at a club that can compete for major honours. If the likes of Manchester United, who are on the hunt for a new centre-forward, finish in the top-four over Spurs, it may heap even more pressure on Tottenham.

Given their recent history, a move to Manchester United does not guarantee a Premier League or Champions League title either, though they did win the League Cup under new boss Erik ten Hag - once a candidate for the Tottenham job.

Many debates on radio suggest he should move to Bayern Munich, who have been monitoring his situation for a while, to add some medals, but I understand a move to Germany is of no interest to him right now.

Would Levy be willing to grant him an exit if the situation at Spurs does not improve, or will he hold him to his 2024 contract regardless? Either way, it will be a very interesting summer ahead at Hotspur Way.
