Stan Collymore has urged his former team, Liverpool, to put in a bid for Harry Kane if they want to compete against Manchester City.
City and the Reds have been the two most competitive teams in England over the last few seasons with Jurgen Klopp’s side finally able to win the league in the last campaign.
They won the title by a good number of points, but City looks to be back to their best this season and wants the title again.
Pep Guardiola’s side beat Liverpool 4-1 in their most recent game, and Collymore thinks the Reds need to respond by opening up the cheque book to sign Kane.
Kane has remained one of the most prolific strikers in England, and he already has more than 20 goal involvements in the Premier League this season.
While he struggles to win silverware at Spurs, he would probably win more if he were to join the Reds.
Collymore says if City signs Erling Haaland in the summer, Liverpool has to respond by raiding Spurs for Kane.
He told The Mirror: “They do need to wake up and smell the coffee, which means owners FSG spending money to go toe-to-toe with City
“It means that if City go out and buy Erling Haaland this summer then Liverpool must buy the next Robert Lewandowski or even put in a bid for HarryKane.
“What they can’t do is just say, ‘We have a really good XI, some youngsters coming through, and we can maintain our challenges that way’, because there are too many other teams with the money to make sure that won’t be the case.”
Collymore is stating the obvious here, same as many pundits before him, sign Kane, win titles. If it is not Man Utd or Man City being urged to sign the England captain, it is Liverpool, it is hardly insightful and all rather predictable.
