The Tottenham Hotspur striker has been sensational for club and country this season.

Matt Le Tissier answers questions during Gillette Soccer Saturday Live with Jeff Stelling on March 19, 2012 at the Bournemouth International Centre in Bournemouth, England.

Sky Sports pundit Matt Le Tissier raved about Spurs hitman Harry Kane, when speaking exclusively to Sky Sports, and insisted that he sees no reason why the England international would leave the north London outfit this summer.

The 24-year-old has been in sizzling form this season, scoring 24 goals in 25 outings in all competitions thus far, and he has firmly established him himself as one of the continent’s most prolific front-men.

The 56 goals that he scored in 2017 saw him finish the calendar year as Europe’s top goalscorer.

Unfortunately for Tottenham, though, his fine displays have not gone unnoticed, with rumours linking him with a summer switch to Real Madrid refusing to go away.

Le Tissier, who is famous for being a one club man after spending 16 years with Southampton, told Sky Sports that he is a big fan of Kane, and sees no reason why he would leave Spurs:

“I think the fact he loves playing for his club is huge and when you play in big local derbies it means a lot more, which is a brilliant thing for Spurs. I think that his love for Tottenham gives him a different edge to other players and his intensity levels reach a higher level. There’s also the fact that he is the consummate professional. I don’t see why he wouldn’t stay there for the rest of his career. He’s never struck me as the sort of bloke who would demand a move if Tottenham failed to miss out on qualifying for the Champions League.”

Spurs take on West Ham in the Premier League tonight, and Kane will be looking to pull further away in the race for the Golden Boot, with his 18 Premier League goals currently leading Mohamed Salah’s 17.
