Tottenham expert: Harry Kane will stay if Julian Nagelsmann deal is finalised
Alan Hutton has suggested Harry Kane could be tempted to stay at Tottenham if Julian Nagelsmann or Mauricio Pochettino take the manager’s hot seat.
The former Rangers and Spurs defender, speaking exclusively to Football Insider, claimed the 29-year-old may have to accept not winning a trophy in his career if he signs a new contract at the club.
This site revealed on Tuesday (28 March) that Tottenham have made contact with Nagelsmann’s representatives following Antonio Conte’s sacking on Sunday (26 March).
The former Bayern Munich boss is the first-choice manager target for Spurs, with former boss Pochettino also on the shortlist of club chiefs.
Kane, who is out of contract in June 2024, is a summer target for Man United as they plot an assault on the Premier League title next season.
The England captain is yet to lift a trophy with Spurs despite scoring an all-time-high 271 goals for the club.
Hutton told Football Insider’s Charlotte Cohen: “I think the next manager can have an impact on Kane’s future.
“But there was all this talk with him before Conte came in about how they’ve not won anything. He was meant to be a serial winner, but he couldn’t do it with Spurs.
“If Harry Kane was unsure going into the summer, what’s he thinking now Conte’s left?
“If they go out and get Nagelsmann, or Pochettino – that could go in the club’s favour.
“But I don’t think he should make that decision based on the manager.
“He could stay at Tottenham for life and possibly not win anything, or he could go somewhere else and win trophies.”
