“So if Harry wants an excuse, then Tottenham and that team are giving him one.” Damning verdict from Alan Shearer

Alan Shearer says Tottenham has given Harry Kane enough reasons to leave and he urges the England captain to find a team where he can win trophies.

Kane has been loyal to Spurs his entire career, despite their failure to win trophies.

They have come close on several occasions, like reaching the finals of the Champions League in 2019 and the Carabao Cup in this campaign.

However, they lost both finals and they will not be in the Champions League next season unless something extraordinary happens.

Kane faces spending the entirety of his career at the club and winning no trophies, but he can leave them in the summer and have a trophy-laden last few years as an active footballer.

He has been linked with a move to teams like Manchester United and Real Madrid, and Shearer admits that if he was in the Englishman’s shoes, he would leave.

He says they failed to show up for him in the Carabao Cup final and again in their 3-1 loss to Leeds United at the weekend.

Shearer said on Match of the Day via Sun Sports: “When I left Blackburn, I had a season after we won the title and we were nowhere near winning the title.

“That sort of made my mind up as I then wanted to go on and try and do things.

“So if Harry wants an excuse, then Tottenham and that team are giving him one.”

Shearer concluded: “They didn’t show up for the cup final and they didn’t show up [against Leeds].

“If I was in his position, I’d go and look elsewhere to try and win trophies.”
