Footballers don’t have a lot to be doing at the moment so I hope Harry Kane finds the time to read this piece of advice from England legend John Barnes.
The former Liverpool winger has encouraged Kane to stay at Tottenham amidst speculation that the 26-year-old is ready to consider his future.

The Telgeraph reported in March that Kane may look to fulfil his lofty ambitions elsewhere if we don’t qualify for next year’s Champions League.
However, Barnes has advised Kane against hunting trophies at one of Europe’s serial winners in favour of staying to “play for the club he loves.”
“Harry Kane should not look to leave Tottenham if he loves Spurs and is a fan of the club,” Barnes told BonusCodeBets.co.uk, via the Daily Star.
“If all players wanted to leave their club to win a trophy, all the players would go to Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester City or a Liverpool, and you’ll never have anyone playing anywhere else.
“You know you’re a Tottenham fan, you want to play for Tottenham so stay at Tottenham to try and help them win. Very similar with Bryan Robson at Manchester United. United and England captain at the time.
“Whilst United were not doing well, he could have easily left. He thought I’m going to stay at Manchester United and help them to win.”
Robson’s patience at Old Trafford was rewarded late in his career with two Premier League titles, but he also won a couple of FA Cups along the way to keep his silverware cravings satisfied.
Kane is starting to get hungry and we aren’t eating at the right table. It might take more than some sentimental advice to convince him to stay.
