Harry Kane scored a hat-trick for Tottenham on Boxing Day against Southampton.
Tottenham Hotspur legend Micky Hazard has told TalkSPORT that he believes Harry Kane will want to remain in north London because the club is “geared for long-term success”.
Kane, 24, continued his marvellous form with a hat-trick against Southampton on Boxing Day during Spurs’ 5-2 win, surpassing Alan Shearer’s record of 36 Premier League goals in a calendar year. Kane now has 39.
BBC Sport pundit Shearer himself claimed that interest from Barcelona and Real Madrid is “inevitable”, but Hazard is adamant that Spurs’ number 10 will not leave the club.
Former Spurs ace Hazard claims the lure of a new stadium and training ground, as well as Kane’s love for the club, will see him remain at Tottenham for the foreseeable future.
“Harry is an ardent Spurs fan and he loves the club, he’s publicly said he wants to stay and create history at this club and win trophies at this club,” Hazard said.
“He is so in love with football and so in love with Spurs, that I just cannot see any reason for him to move.
“When you look at what’s ahead for this club, the new stadium when it’s finished, we’ve got an incredible new training ground – everything at this club is geared for long-term success.”
23-time England international Kane remains at the top of the goalscoring rankings with 18 strikes in England’s top tier this season, three ahead of Liverpool’s Mo Salah with a third Golden Boot in his sights.
He will be in action once again on January 2, as Spurs travel to Wales to face Swansea City in the Premier League before Spurs complete three games within five days, as they then face West Ham and AFC Wimbledon in the FA Cup.
