Harry Kane could quit Tottenham soon – ‘it’s going to happen’, says pundit
Harry Kane could quit Tottenham if Antonio Conte leaves the club at the end of the season.
That’s according to former Hibernian striker Tam McManus, speaking exclusively to Football Insider about the striker’s future.
On Tuesday (20 December), The Athletic reported sources close to key figures in the negotiations of Conte’s new contract sound less optimistic than they did earlier in the season about a deal being reached.
The Italian is out of contract at the end of the season though Spurs have the option to activate a one-year extension.
Kane, 29, has 18 months remaining on his own deal and has been heavily linked with Bayern Munich.
McManus claims we could soon see a repeat of Kane’s last transfer drama.
“It’s going to happen again isn’t it? I remember the last time this kicked off,” McManus told Football Insider‘s Ben Wild.
“Kane did that interview with Gary Neville and it was will he stay or will he go? It looked like he was going to Man City then he wasn’t.
“It was the drama of the summer but he stayed. What has really changed since then? He’s lost another final and Tottenham still haven’t won anything.
“The only difference is that Conte is there. He’s a world-class manager who wins things, it’s what he does. If he was to leave at the end of the season, that might be the final straw for Kane.
“He wants to win things and with clubs like Bayern sniffing around, that can turn your head.”
Tottenham return to league action against Brentford on Boxing Day.
They sit fourth in the Premier League after winning nine games before the World Cup.
