Joleon Lescott believes Harry Kane would seriously consider joining Manchester United in the summer as the Red Devils are closer to winning silverware than Tottenham are.
Kane will have just two years left on his contract at Spurs this summer (Transfermarkt) and the striker is thought to be on the radars of both Manchester City (The Sun) and Manchester United (Mirror).
90 min claimed recently that the 28-year-old has already made up his mind to leave Spurs when the transfer window reopens.
The report stated that Kane is ‘displeased’ with Tottenham’s results over the last few months and does not believe that the club can match his ambitions.
Lescott has now spoken in glowing terms about the vision and intelligence that Kane possesses and backed the Tottenham man to drop into midfield over the coming years just as Wayne Rooney did towards the end of his playing career.
The former Manchester City and Everton defender told LiveScore: “Strikers with his level of finishing ability are judged on their goal return and that starts with taking up the correct positions.
“Cristiano Ronaldo is a prime example of someone who adapted their game to be an out-and-out goalscorer – but I actually think Kane may end up moving backwards with time.
“He’s never been a forward reliant on having the highest leap or the quickest sprint. His intelligence, vision and movement are some of his strongest traits. It makes me think he could end up moving into an attacking midfield role in later years, not too dissimilar to Wayne Rooney.”
Lescott also suggested that Kane would be tempted by the prospect of a move to Old Trafford this summer.
When asked if the striker will join United if they came knocking, the former England man said: “I think he’d consider that very strongly. For all their faults, United are closer to winning trophies than Spurs right now. Not the Premier League, but knockout competitions.
“You could see them winning an FA Cup or Carabao Cup. “Somewhere like a Real Madrid or Bayern Munich would also be a good fit. But with Karim Benzema and Robert Lewandowski as good as ever this season, I’m not sure those are viable options.
“It would make sense for United to try for him. And if circumstances are right, it’s one I could see happening.”
Spurs Web Opinion
If Kane is to leave Tottenham, he would want to join a club that is guaranteed to compete for the top honours every season. At this moment, Man Utd are not in a position to do so.
So, I still believe Man City is Kane’s most likely destination if he is to depart Spurs this summer. I would not be surprised if Pep Guardiola’s men reignite their interest in the 28-year-old this summer.
