Harry Kane continues to be linked with the exit door at Tottenham.
Former Tottenham Hotspur striker Roman Pavlyuchenko has ordered Harry Kane to leave Spurs in an interview with Goal.com, if Real Madrid of Barcelona come calling this summer.
Kane, 24, has shown his quality once again throughout 2017-18 by scoring a huge 41 goals in just 48 league and cup outings for the north Londoners, as Mauricio Pochettino guided his side into third place.
The England international, who will captain the Three Lions at the World Cup this summer in Russia, has been continuously linked with the likes of Real ahead of what is expected to be an interesting summer for the Spurs product.
Pavlyuchenko, who was brought to north London by former manager Juande Ramos in 2008 and remained at the club for four years, reckons Kane should leave the club – but only if Real or Barca are keen.
“If Barcelona and Real Madrid call him, then yes, he has to go,” Pavlyuchenko said. “But if it’s to join a team that occupies the middle of the table in Spain or Italy, it’s not worth it.
“But, he must first know what he wants. It is certain that, if Barca and Real are present, then it’s normal to want to go there.
“Tottenham is a big club, but they don’t play in the final stages of the Champions League. If he wants to go even further, he must, of course, join a bigger club.”
A 24-time England international, Kane’s current pay cheque leaves Spurs in a precarious situation, with the likes of Real and Barca able to afford much more than £110,000 a week (Daily Mail).
The ball is in Tottenham’s court, though, with four years still to run on Kane’s contract who is said to be happy to remain at Spurs.
