Paper Talk: Man Utd move for Harry Kane hinging on one thing; Tottenham eye immediate replacement Manchester United’s big-money move for Harry Kane is hinging on one major thing, while Tottenham are already eyeing an immediate replacement, according to Tuesday’s Paper Talk. MAN UTD COUNTING ON KANE KICKING UP A STINK Manchester United are reportedly resting their hopes on Harry Kane kicking up a stink to make a move to Old Trafford this summer. There are strong rumours that the England skipper is finally looking to move on from Tottenham, having failed to win a trophy during his time at the club. Kane is the third-highest goalscorer in the north London club’s history, behind only Bobby Smith and Jimmy Greaves, after coming up through the academy. But the 27-year-old is now in the peak of his career and wants a chance of adding some silverware to his personal cabinet – something that has eluded him at Spurs. That has led to renewed interest from United, who have been chasing the prolific striker for the past five years. However, the fact that the Red Devils will have to deal with Daniel Levy has been urging them to think differently – with the Spurs chairman likely to command a fee of £150m for the club’s talisman. To that end, The Athletic, via the Daily Star, claims that United are hoping that Kane publicly declares that he wants to leave Spurs. The report adds that would force Levy into thinking differently, though the Tottenham transfer supremo still has two aces up his sleeve. The first is the fact that Kane is tied to a long-term contract after signing a six-year deal in 2018, while the second is that he is banking on Kane having the sort of personality that will stop him making a public outcry. United also do not want to spend £150m during a time where they will probably have to spend a similar figure on another top attacking target in Jadon Sancho.

MAN UTD COUNTING ON KANE KICKING UP A STINK

Manchester United are reportedly resting their hopes on Harry Kane kicking up a stink to make a move to Old Trafford this summer.

There are strong rumours that the England skipper is finally looking to move on from Tottenham, having failed to win a trophy during his time at the club.

Kane is the third-highest goalscorer in the north London club’s history, behind only Bobby Smith and Jimmy Greaves, after coming up through the academy.

But the 27-year-old is now in the peak of his career and wants a chance of adding some silverware to his personal cabinet – something that has eluded him at Spurs.

That has led to renewed interest from United, who have been chasing the prolific striker for the past five years.

However, the fact that the Red Devils will have to deal with Daniel Levy has been urging them to think differently – with the Spurs chairman likely to command a fee of £150m for the club’s talisman.

To that end, The Athletic, via the Daily Star, claims that United are hoping that Kane publicly declares that he wants to leave Spurs.

 

The report adds that would force Levy into thinking differently, though the Tottenham transfer supremo still has two aces up his sleeve.

The first is the fact that Kane is tied to a long-term contract after signing a six-year deal in 2018, while the second is that he is banking on Kane having the sort of personality that will stop him making a public outcry.

United also do not want to spend £150m during a time where they will probably have to spend a similar figure on another top attacking target in Jadon Sancho.
