Journalist argues why losing Kane would not be ‘the end of the world’ for Spurs
Journalist Dean Jones has argued that it might not be a complete disaster for Tottenham to lose Harry Kane, given that Richarlison has proven himself to be a capable number nine.
Kane has had a tough few days after his penalty miss meant that England were knocked out of the World Cup. The striker took to social media to admit that it will take a long time to get over Saturday’s disappointment, and took full responsibility for the Three Lions’ elimination.
While the 29-year-old continues to lick his wounds from the heartbreak, there continues to be speculation over his club future, with reports from Germany backing Bayern Munich to make a move for the striker next summer.
It emerged just a few days ago (Bayern Insider Podcast via Fussball Nachrichten) that the Bundesliga club are putting together a ‘precise plan’ to lure Kane to the Allianz Arena.
It was asserted that while Bayern are aware it would be a ‘difficult mission’, they believe their chances will improve the longer the England captain delays a new contract at Spurs.
Jones has suggested on the back of Richarlison’s impressive showing for Brazil at the World Cup that Kane might not be as indispensable for Spurs as once thought.
The journalist told GiveMeSport: “Obviously keeping Kane remains a matter of huge importance and they want it to happen, but if he was to leave and you can slightly alter the side to suit Richarlison, it certainly doesn’t feel like the end of the world. You just rely on Brazil’s No.9 instead of England’s No.9.”
Spurs Web Opinion
I do not think Spurs will look at things that way with respect to Kane and Richarlison. Conte and the Tottenham hierarchy will be desperate to get the 29-year-old to commit his future to the club, and I doubt Levy would consider selling the striker in the summer even if he does not sign a new contract before then.
