Tottenham striker Harry Kane celebrated his recent call-up to the England national team with a hat-trick against Leicester City in Spurs’ 4-3 win at White Hart Lane. The 21-year-old also took his tally to 29 goals in all competitions this season, but should the London outfit fear losing him in the summer?
The three goals scored against the Foxes put him on level with Diego Costa (Chelsea) in the Premier League scoring charts this season, grabbing even further the attention of many potential suitors. Harry Kane’s rise to prominence has surprised many outside of the club, and has increased the interest in securing his services with many sides desperate for a goalscorer.
In the Premier League, there aren’t many clubs where Kane could go. Tottenham are a side chasing European football, so the Englishman would need to move to Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City, or Manchester United to keep improving and building his career. Any other side would be a step down.
Liverpool and Manchester United are the only sides from the list with a remote chance of being interested in Kane, but the young forward could well be inundated with offers from across Europe. There won’t be a shortage of enquires from sides in the top European leagues in the summer, some of whom will offer large sums of money to make Kane their man. A deal could well become even more likely if the interested teams can offer him Champions League football as Tottenham cannot next season.
The academy prospect is not only a prolific goalscorer, but also boasts great hold-up play, can spearhead the attack on his own, and is a real aerial threat, He scored a number of headers this season, among a host of other variety of efforts. It’s exactly what interested clubs will be looking for in a striker, and Kane’s young age also makes him a hotly-coveted star.
19 goals in 20 Premier League starts for a side chasing a top-four spot in the table, while being only 21, makes Kane one of the hottest young strikers in Europe, let alone just the Premier League. He looks on course to receive personal honours at the end of the season as a result of his impressive season at White Hart Lane, but Spurs will be looking to fend off increased summer interest.
As a six-foot striker, boasting impressive technical abilities and a real eye for goal, there aren’t many sides who would pass on the opportunity to sign him. Tottenham may well have to slap a large price tag on his shoulders this summer in order to capitalize on Kane’s rising star and the growing interest in obtaining his signature.
