Reports emanating from Spain have suggested that Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane could attract a £177 million bid from Real Madrid.
Stuart Pearce has told The Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast on talkSPORT (broadcast on 4th October 2017; 8:36 am) that Harry Kane is virtually priceless to Tottenham following reports emanating from Spain which suggested that Real Madrid were preparing a staggering bid for the Englishman.
According to Don Balon, Los Blancos are considering making the eye-watering offer for the 24-year-old following his sensational start to the season, which has seen him score 13 goals in his last eight games for club and country.
But while Pearce pointed out that Tottenham have had their business hat on when previous big-money bids have come in for their players in the past, he suggested that Kane’s value to Spurs means that the most sensible decision is to knock back any offers that come in.
“When money’s come in for their players, whether it be Carrick or Bale or certain individuals, Berbatov, they’ve taken the money, they’ve seen it as good value and moved on, but I think it’ll be a major blow.
“He’s almost priceless to the football club. I would resist probably for this year and next year, and then after that, you reassess again.”
Given how they spent the money they received for Bale four years ago, there will surely be few supporters who feel that that fee is worth accepting in today’s climate.
Selling Bale must surely make Tottenham realise that they could probably have all the money in the world, but finding someone capable of filling Kane’s shoes would be a virtually impossible task.
