Karren Brady says loan moves helped Harry Kane becoming a top player at Tottenham Hotspur.
Karren Brady notes the importance of loan transfers for a football club in her column for The Sun.
She says that the loan system has been a success all over the world, and it helps both the clubs involved and the players concerned.
Brady has cited the example of how Mamadou Sakho, who was a misfit under Jurgen Klopp, rescued his career by securing a loan move to Crystal Palace (and later permanent move).
She adds that a loan move can make a player better as it provides a learning environment in the Football League.
In this context, she mentions how the loan moves in the early part of Harry Kane’s career has helped him become a top player for Tottenham Hotspur.
After emerging from the club’s youth academy, Kane made his senior debut for Tottenham in 2009.
He spent loan spells at Leyton Orient, Millwall, Norwich City and Leicester City, before establishing himself as a key player for Spurs.
In his previous three seasons, Kane has scored over 25 goals in all competitions. Last season, he was Premier League’s top scorer with 29 goals.
Brady says that although Kane didn’t “rip up the record books” at those aforementioned clubs during his loan spell, but it certainly helped him transform into a prospering striker.
“This borrowed time may not always make better players – but in general it makes better people,” wrote Brady in her column for The Sun.
“Spurs’ Harry Kane didn’t rip up the record books at Leyton Orient, Millwall, Norwich or Leicester but his progression enriched him no end – transforming the promising pro into a prospering striker.”
