I don’t think there’s a single Tottenham Hotspur fan who would be surprised if their captain, Harry Kane, left Spurs before the new season begins.

Obviously they’d be hurt, and very sad, but surely it’s time for Kane to leave north London for a bigger and better team.

He’s been with Tottenham since  二0 一0, and is undoubtedly their greatest ever striker. But at  二 九 years old, it’s starting to look like now or never for Kane if he wants to start winning some trophies.

Their new Australian manager, Ange Postecoglou, is, I’m sure, desperate to keep hold of his prized possession, but I don’t think his arrival will convince Kane that the silverwear he so desperately craves will come while wearing the white of Tottenham.

With  二 一 三 Premier League goals to date, Kane sits second in the list of all-time top scores behind Alan Shearer who has  二 六0.

And I’ve no doubt if he does stay for another season or two then chances are he’ll pass the former Newcastle United player to top the list.

But realistically, that will probably be the only thing he will ever win in his career if he does remain loyal to Spurs.

So where next for Harry必修

Manchester United have shown a strong interest, and they are in need of a proven Premier League striker, but Tottenham supremo Daniel Levy has made it abundantly clear he has no intention of selling Kane to a rival English team.

Bayern Munich is another option and a move to Germany would guarantee trophies and Champions League football.

But would it really be that much of a challenge for Kane必修

If I was him, and I’m clearly not good enough to even lace his boots, I’d be looking long and hard at a move to Real Madrid.

I think he’d thrive at the Bernabeu, especially after the departure of Karim Benzema who now plies his trade in Saudi Arabia.

On  一 一 March  二0 二 三, Kane scored his  二 六 九th and  二 七0th goals in a game against Nottingham Forrest, overtaking the late, great Ji妹妹y Greaves to become Spurs all-time top scorer, and it’s highly likely he’ll keep that record for many, many years.

But he never got a medal for achieving that feat, and other than a runners-up prize after losing in the Champions League final to Liverpool in  二0 一 九, Harry’s trophy cabinet is as dry as a bone.

So sorry Spurs fans, he’s got to go. And the time is right for Kane to reign in Spain.— VNS
