Tottenham may be forced to accept Harry Kane offer after source’s £350,000-a-week reveal – Agbonlahor
Tottenham may be forced into handing Harry Kane a new mega-money contract, according to Gabby Agbonlahor.
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, the ex-Aston Villa and England attacker claimed Kane does not deserve a new deal worth £350,000-a-week but is too important for Spurs to let him go.
The 29-year-old is set to enter the final 18 months of his Tottenham contract with his current deal set to expire at the end of next season.
Sources told Football Insider last week (26 November) that Spurs will have to offer the England captain an “extraordinary” contract if they want him to commit to new terms.
Kane is aware that his current wage of £200,000-a-week is dwarfed by some of his England teammates with Raheem Sterling on £300,000-a-week at Chelsea and Jack Grealish on £350,000-a-week at Man City.
Tottenham are keen to open negotiations but Kane has put them on hold until after the World Cup.
Asked for his verdict on Kane signing a new deal worth £350,000-a-week, Agbonlahor told Football Insider correspondent Connor Whitley: “I can’t see Spurs doing that, to be honest.
“Harry Kane is a great player but £300,000-a-week or £350,000-a-week, I’m not sure he deserves that.
“But when you look at his importance to Spurs, maybe they will give him it rather than run his contract down and create a move to a different club.”
Kane has started all 22 of Tottenham’s games across all competitions this season.
He has found the net on 13 occasions this term and has also chipped in with three assists.
