Why Tottenham Should Sell Harry Kane

Forget all the shenanigans behind closed doors regarding Spurs top scorer Harry Kane. The reality remains that his future at Tottenham still hangs in the balance despite his effort to force over a move to team up with Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City.

Dany Levy, Spurs chairman, is a strict negotiator. He would want to get every penny on the England captain. Kane has not hidden his intention of wanting out of the club, which he announced shortly before the Euros. His reasons are relatively straightforward – lack of trophies which is unthinkable for a player who has netted over 200 goals for the North London club.

At 27, Kane, who wants a move to Manchester City, is expected to be amongst elite footballers who have experienced success at the highest level but unfortunately for Kane he has been very unlucky with trophies. His last attempt being at the recently concluded European championships where the Three Lions lost the title to Italy on penalties.

Although Spurs new manager, Nuno Espirito Santo, has said the matter would be dealt with privately, Both parties need to make their decision on time before the transfer window closes. City is not ready to cough out the 160m Euros Spurs want for the man.

His future now lies with him. This can trigger a meeting with Levy. The outcome could make him reduce the asking price and re-invest the funds into new players.

Levy should cash in on Harry Kane now

The right time he can make a huge amount on the club’s academy product is now. This is owing to his recent form in the European Championships.

So, allowing Kane to secure his move will be better for Spurs the more. The new players they would invest the money on can quickly settle into the side. Kane on the other hand will continue his sojourn in the English League.

Spurs have nothing to lose on the club’s graduate, but selling him to City early enough can help both sides to focus on their season and give us top-class actions.
