Harry Kane has been repeatedly linked with a move away from Tottenham Hotspur.

Tottenham legend David Ginola has told TalkSPORT that he believes Daniel Levy will struggle to reject a £200million offer for Harry Kane, and that the striker would be tempted with an offer of “four times what he is earning now.”

Kane, 24, has continued his stupendous goalscoring form with 28 goals in 28 league and cup outings this season, after winning the Premier League’s golden boot in 2015-16 and 2016-17.

The Sun claim Spurs are readying an offer of £200,000 a week to secure Kane’s future at Spurs, with his current contract seeing him earn £110,000 a week – £70,000 a week less than Manchester City star Raheem Sterling.

Ginola, who played for Tottenham for three years between 1997 and 2000, claimed both Levy and Kane would struggle to refuse offers if an offer of £200million was made, alongside a contract four times Kane’s current take home.

“It’s going to be tricky, but the top four is possible,” Ginola said. “When I say tricky, I’m thinking about Harry Kane. You need to put a team with Mauricio Pochettino that is able to challenge for something.

“If you get an offer of £200million on the table, four times what he is earning now, I think it is going to be complicated for Daniel Levy to refuse £200million, or Kane to refuse four times what he earns now.

“You buy two, three very good players that reinforces the whole squad and I think Pochettino will be right there.”

BBC Sport pundit Alan Shearer claimed last month that interest from Spanish heavyweights Barcelona and Real Madrid is “inevitable” as the Spurs academy product continues to smash record after record.

The 23-time England international will now be hoping to continue his momentum at club level into the World Cup this summer, as he looks to add to his 12 England goals with group games against Belgium, Panama and Tunisia.
