Sergio Aguero will be leaving Manchester City at the end of the season, and that leaves Pep Guardiola’s team with the unenviable task of replacing one of the greatest strikers of all time.
There have been numerous links from players such as Erling Haaland, all the way to Danny Ings, but one player that they’’ve consistently been linked with for years is Harry Kane.
Reports have emerged stating that City are Kane this summer, and while those rumours are nothing new, the circumstances surrounding these rumours are new.
For the first time in a decade, City actually do need a star striker, Aguero is going and there are few players in world football able to fill the void he’ll leave behind.
Spurs have every reason to feel worried about this.
Yes, Daniel Levy won’t let Kane go for cheap, but the striker’s situation has never felt more precarious.
So many pundits have chimed in advising him to leave the club to look for silverware, and there aren’t many clubs in the world who win as many trophies as City.
We’re not saying that a move is likely, but one thing that is almost guaranteed is speculation, and with Spurs in turmoil, Kane could be distracted by these reports between now and the end of the season, and that could be disastrous for Tottenham.
Kane has of course been linked away from Spurs plenty of times, and his head has never been turned before, but it’s fair to say this is a different situation.
This is one of the richest and most successful clubs on the planet desperately looking for a star striker, and we’ve not really seen anything like this since Real Madrid lost Cristiano Ronaldo, and at that point, everyone knew that Eden Hazard was the man they were going to go for.
Kane to City is going to be a rumour we hear a lot about between now and the end of the season, and that could affect the London club in a number of ways.
