Harry Kane’s time at Tottenham could finally be coming to an end. Famously reluctant negotiator Daniel Levy has broken his habit of refusing to pick up the phone, and is haggling with Bayern Munich over a price for the striker.
This comes as something of a shock, if only because Spurs have made a few shrewd additions this summer, and brought in an exciting new manager in Ange Postecoglou. This is, in effect, a new project and the start of a fresh cycle for Tottenham.
Only, Kane doesn’t have time for that. At 29, with plastic ankles and haunted by a hollow trophy cabinet, the England captain wants out. And Bayern seems the most likely destination. But in recent days, a new suitor has come to the fore; PSG, according to numerous outlets in Paris, are contemplating a move, with one of Europe’s finest supposedly on the market. And with Kylian Mbappe likely heading for a surprise departure of his own, the Parisians need a new striker.
Still, the reigning Ligue 1 champions shouldn’t touch the England captain. Kane is an excellent footballer, somehow still underrated on the continent, but he’s not the right player for them – something they should embrace by looking elsewhere in the final month of the transfer window.
