Guillem Balague has commented on Harry Kane’s future at Tottenham.
Tottenham’s Harry Kane
Spanish football expert Guillem Balague has told Sky Sports that neither Barcelona or Real Madrid have approached Tottenham’s Harry Kane.
Kane took his Premier League tally for the season to 17 in just 21 games with a stunning first half hat-trick against Stoke City on Sunday, again giving a finishing masterclass.
The 23-year-old has come up through the ranks at White Hart Lane to become one of the top strikers in the Premier League and arguably Europe, with his previous tallies cementing him as a world class attacker.
Last season, Kane hit a total of 28 goals in just 50 games, and before that, he racked up 31 goals in 51 appearances for Tottenham, becoming England’s main goal threat.
Tottenham have been working hard to keep Kane at the club, as he signed a new contract with Spurs back in December, penning a deal until the summer of 2022.
Despite that deal, speculation will continue to surround Kane, given that clubs around the world are always pursuing proven goalscorers – and Kane is one of very few players who fit that bill.
Two clubs always in the market for top players are Barcelona and Real Madrid, with Kane potentially on the radars of both teams ahead of the summer transfer window.

However, Spanish football expert Guillem Balague has told Sky Sports that neither Barca or Real have approached Kane yet, because they also have key attackers at the club – but with Balague agreeing with Mauricio Pochettino that Kane is one of the world’s best strikers, meaning he could be targeted in the future.
“Harry Kane is considered a top striker,” said Balague. “He has not been approached by Barcelona or Real Madrid, not yet anyway – it doesn’t mean at some point that he won’t be – but he has not been approached because with Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez, there is no point in bringing in another centre-forward for either of them.”
“When talking about a player with his behaviour and consistency, I agree with Mauricio Pochettino that he is becoming one of the world’s best strikers. For me, Ronaldo, Messi and Suarez are ahead but he has got a fantastic record, there is huge room for improvement and he is in the right hands to get better,” he added.
