Harry Kane: Tottenham to reinvest ‘big chunk’ of fee on marquee replacement – sources
Tottenham are eyeing a big-money striker signing should Harry Kane leave the club this summer, sources have told Football Insider.
This news comes after Football Insider revealed on Monday (24 July) that Tottenham are now ready to cash in on their 29-year-old talisman if he won’t sign a new contract.
Spurs’ decision has given fresh hope of a deal to Man United, who made the England captain their number one target and top priority heading into the summer window.
Football Insider revealed on Monday (24 July) that Bayern are preparing to submit a third bid worth nearly £100million after seeing two offers rejected.
A well-placed source has revealed that Spurs are concerned about losing a “guaranteed” 25-goal-per-season striker from their squad.
And as such, sources say the Lilywhites are ready to reinvest a big chunk of any fee received for Kane on a new marquee striker.
Reports earlier this summer had suggested that Richarlison would be relied upon to take up the mantle should the Tottenham talisman quit the club.
It is believed Dusan Vlahovic has been identified by transfer chiefs as a potential target – and will be available this summer.
Juventus are facing financial difficulties and are open to the Serbia international leaving, with Tottenham set to face competition from Paris Saint-Germain for his signature.
Kane notched 30 goals and three assists in 38 Premier League games last season – a tally bettered only by Man City’s Erling Haaland.
However, other stars failed to contribute as Spurs failed to secure any European qualification for the 2023-24 campaign.
Richarlison managed just one league strike in 27 outings, while Heung-min Son scored 10 goals in 36 top-flight games – a big drop-off from his normal returns.
