Speaking on his YouTube channel, Rio Ferdinand has claimed that he’s scared Harry Kane will never win a trophy if he stays at Tottenham.
Harry Kane’s future seems to be a hot topic at the moment, and Ferdinand believes that if he doesn’t leave Spurs, his legacy is in danger.
Kane certainly has the talent to go down as one of the all-time great centre-forwards in world football, but Ferdinand is worried about how he’ll be remembered if he doesn’t win anything.
“I’ve got to be honest yeah, Harry Kane. I love him. I love the way he plays football. I’m just telling you, I’ve said it a few times now. Harry Kane at the end of his career, what does he want to be judged on? Does he want to be judged on being a winner? Or does he want to just be someone who scored goals?” Ferdinand said.
“I’m going to take you to a scenario. I get invited to these things by FIFA and UEFA, where you get to meet ex-legends who played football. All these players, there’s one common denominator between all of them. They were all winners, they all cared about winning.
“That’s what I want, and that’s what I’m scared for Harry Kane, that if he doesn’t move, and if some Tottenham fans want to shout me down I don’t care, if he does go you’ve got to pat him on the back and say thank you for what you’ve done. But if he doesn’t move I’m scared he’s not going to win anything. It’s not the place to be.”
Ferdinand has every right to be worried about Kane’s loyalty at Spurs.
Ferdinand knows better than anyone that being a winner is important. He happily left West Ham as a youngster on the hunt for silverware, and he ended up stocking up his trophy cabinet quite nicely at Manchester United.
Unfortunately, Spurs haven’t been able to deliver any trophies so far, and with the club regressing since the peak of Mauricio Pochettino’s reign, it’s hard to see where they will start picking up silverware.
Kane certainly has a big decision to make in the future.
