Former Tottenham defender, Alan Hutton says Harry Kane would not be happy about Fabio Paratici’s claims that he is happy to partake in rebuilding the club.
Kane had asked to leave in the summer and Manchester City wanted to sign him.
The Premier League champions had bids for his signature rejected by the Lilywhites, who forced him to remain at the club.
However, the striker hasn’t looked happy on the pitch and he is suffering an uncharacteristic drop in form at the moment.
Paratici said via Fabrizio Romano that Kane “knows how to share the sense of belonging to Spurs.”
He is suggesting that the striker is happy to remain at the club, but Hutton says that is far from the truth because at his age (28) Kane wants to win trophies and not rebuilding a club.
Adding that the England captain will want to play for a club that is challenging for titles and Tottenham are not there yet.
Asked if Kane would be happy with Paratici’s comments, Hutton told Football Insider: “No, not really.
“I mean he wants to win trophies, he wants to be playing in team is challenging for everything. You can understand why.
“He’s one of the best strikers in the world. To say that you’re going to go through a rebuild and he’s 28 now, he is looking for success now.
“It will obviously be disappointing for him. They’re stuck in a tough place at the moment. They’ve got a striker there desperate to win. They’re probably not where they should be in terms of league position.
“In terms of actually challenging, I think they’re still a long way off it. They need to get him firing. If he’s going to stay there now, he needs to really get going.
“Whether that is players coming in and adding to the squad, we’ll have to wait and see. It’s a sticky place right now for Tottenham and Harry Kane.”
Fab p ain’t no plonked and levy can’t boy him off
Levy had no concept of what motivates players, he just thinks they should do their job like any other job. How can a narrow eyed accountant like Levy make calls on players etc? The mind boggles…
Kane obviously wants to move to a proper football club where he can win trophies. He’s fed up to the back teeth being used by Levy to pretend we have ambition on the cheap as he’s homegrown talent. To replace him is very difficult as what striker of Kane’s ability is going to want to join enic fc to win nothing and just be used as a poster boy?
Parrot talks too much imo. He should stop mouthing off and find us a second striker and a playmaker. As for Kane being part of the rebuild I think he should be wary of putting down a foundation that is nowhere near 100%.
As if Levy’s stance over Kane’s possible departure wasn’t bad enough it now looks like his loss of form could cost him his England position.
A growing swell of opinion is convinced that he is not worth his inclusion based on his current form and after the poor England performance against Hungary,it would appear Southgate is finally considering players’ form to be of consideration when picking the next team for the WC qualifiers.
This will not sit easy with Harry Kane.Levy has a lot to answer for,even if he could be relied upon to have reinvested the money from Kane back into the squad.
So Patricia is asked the question and the answer should be what exactly
No Kane thinks we are 5hite and cannot wait to get away
Almost laughable some of the comments
for a club that doesn’t spend a lot of money they don’t half waste it on having hitchin and Paratici basically doing the same job . They’d have been better off paying one decent bloke to do the managers job Conte? Instead of two more salaries . Club scouts can find players assistant managers can do do the legwork to get them to sign it was quite successful for Clough and Taylor .
I agree with Hutton, Kane is a massive figure at the club and the vice captain. How would you like it if some geezer rocks up a couple of months ago then and starts jabbering on about how you feel about your situation?
His job is not to lord it over the players and speak for them. Seems like a bit of a plonker to me…
Hoping what happened to Eriksen doesn’t happen to Kane, he looked like a broken man for quite some time before we finally offloaded him for next to nothing to Milan.
