LA Galaxy ace says Harry Kane needs to play for a bigger club than Tottenham.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic has told The Mirror that England striker Harry Kane should leave Tottenham Hotspur.
Kane won the World Cup Golden Boot in 2018 and was in contention to win back the Premier League top scorer award before he recently suffered another ankle injury.
Ibrahimovic says Kane should look to leave Spurs to test himself at a higher level.
He said: “When I was in England, I saw him play. I think he is a good striker. He’s still developing, he’s doing good things.
“But I always say, playing in a big club, performing good is different from playing in… with all respect to Tottenham, a ‘normal’ club.
“I think he can make it. He just needs to make the move, and people will remember you for what you win. So if he wants to win, then yes, I think he needs to change.”
Objectively Ibrahimovic is right that Kane deserves to win medals and may have to consider forcing the issue.
Kane however has a bond to Tottenham that he is unlikely to break. He is the club’s fourth highest ever goalscorer and aims to break Jimmy Greaves’ record.
Ibrahimovic quit his boyhood club Malmo as a teenager before embarking on a storied career across Europe.
His medal collection will make the Swede feel it was well worth it, but his life lessons are not so easily applied to Kane’s situation.
