For anyone shocked by the news that even a club stalwart like Brad Friedel thinks Harry Kane’s days are numbered when the price is right, and that the economic damage caused by COVID-19 could be the catalyst for the Spurs chairman to take an offer sooner, rather than later.
Brad Friedel was talking to Ladbrokes on behalf of The Boy Hotspur.
I take a view that Brad may be underestimating Kane’s desire for silverware. 28 this summer, Harry is a pro athlete and to date has won absolutely nothing. Whilst I do believe the England captain has heavily bought into the whole ‘he’s one of our own’ business, the truth is unless something seismic happens very soon, Kane will go down in history as a player who wasted his career at Tottenham. That may offend the sensibilities of some, but the years have trickled by and big-time players have spent them collecting honours.
These are Kane’s prime years, he has a serial winner as his coach, a billion-pound stadium, and too many team-mates who are past their sell-by date.
