Phil Thompson has told Chelsea transfer target Harry Kane that he should leave Tottenham if he wants too.
Regarded as one of the best strikers in the game right now and one of the main reasons why Tottenham are such an exciting team to watch, there has been alot of speculation in the media over the past few days about the future of the England International.
Kane has not won any trophies just yet and with Spurs seemingly heading in the wrong direction under Jose Mourinho, he recently came out and admitted that he may have to leave the club in order to get the success that he is looking for, with Chelsea keen on trying to nail down his signature.
Now Liverpool legend Thompson has told the Spurs man that he should leave Spurs, He told Sky Sports: “If you’d asked me about Kane needing to leave during the middle of last season, I’d have said ‘no’ because I could see Spurs winning trophies.
“But Tottenham have regressed. Without doubt that interview with Jamie Redknapp was one of the first times we saw a chink in his armour where he was doubting whether the club was in the right position.
“He wants to win things and he was saying that he’s not set in his ways. If Spurs can show their commitments to try to move forward with signings in the summer, then I’m sure Kane will stay there but ultimately the decision lies with the player.
“You don’t want a disenchanted player in your dressing-room. Liverpool have had it in the past with Luis Suarez and Philippe Coutinho, and it makes for a bad atmosphere. “I know he’s a good guy, but if he somehow gives that inkling that he wants to leave, Spurs would then have to move forward and would have to sell him.”
It is true, if Kane feels that he needs to leave Tottenham then he should, But it will be a massive shock to see him arrive at Chelsea, even if they paid the £200 million asking price.
