David Ornstein has told Sky Sports News that he’s heard that Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane wants to leave the club.
Kane has continued to perform to an amazing level this season, even with Tottenham often failing to impress.
Spurs have exited the Europa League and the FA Cup, while their chances of winning the Premier League are now all but over.
Kane is facing another trophyless season, unless his side can beat Manchester City in the League Cup final – and even that may not appease the striker.
Ornstein suggests that the Spurs front-man wants to win the biggest trophies in football.
But he does suggest that any departure from Tottenham remains unlikely, due to Daniel Levy’s asking price.
“I speak to a lot of people in football and the consensus is that he would like to leave Tottenham,” he said.
“He can’t say that publicly, he’s the captain and he’s very committed while he’s at the club but he wants to go and wins trophies.
“He wants to be winning multiple trophies, the biggest trophies in football. It doesn’t look like he will be able to do that at Tottenham, and I think he would be open to a transfer.
“However, that’s incredibly unlikely because Daniel Levy would want an astonishingly high figure to even consider letting him go.”
Kane’s future has been heavily speculated about since Tottenham’s exit from Europe, and this latest development is a concern.
However, with Kane under contract at Tottenham until 2023, the club hold all the cards, and it seems unlikely that the England international will force a move.
Kane has been nothing but professional ever since breaking through at Spurs, and his loyalty to the club is undoubted.
If he does stick around at Tottenham he will surely become one the club’s all time greats, and may well go on to break Alan Shearer’s Premier League scoring record – as he is only 100 goals behind it now.
