Tottenham Hotspur ‘anticipating Chelsea’s bid for Harry Kane’
According to reports, Tottenham Hotspur are preparing for a proposal from Chelsea for Harry Kane.
With his contract expiring in June 2024, Kane’s future in North London is presently the subject of much speculation.
The 29-year-old is expected to conduct discussions with the club in the summer, but if the two sides cannot reach an agreement, Spurs risk losing their all-time leading scorer on a free transfer in 2019.
Spurs are adamant about not selling the England international, but the ambiguous situation has piqued the interest of other clubs.
Manchester United is reportedly prepared to offer Kane a weekly salary of £300,000 to convince him to transfer to Old Trafford this summer.
According to talkSPORT, Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is preparing for an offer from their London rivals Chelsea.
According to the report, the imminent arrival of Mauricio Pochettino as Chelsea’s head coach is likely to increase their interest.
If appointed manager of the West London club, Pochettino will likely request that Chelsea investigate the possibility of acquiring the Englishman.
Kane played 242 games for Spurs under Pochettino, and the duo have a positive relationship after five years of collaboration.
Levy’s reluctance to sell to a fellow Premier League club could make it difficult to complete a transfer for Kane.
Kane has also been linked to Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain, but he is adamant about remaining in England as he attempts to surpass Alan Shearer’s Premier League all-time goalscoring record.
Kane, who has scored 207 goals in the Premier League, is closing in on Shearer’s record of 260 goals.
In 44 competitive appearances for Spurs this year, the England captain has scored 26 goals and assisted on five others.
Tottenham, who are presently fifth in the Premier League standings, are preparing for Sunday’s away match against Liverpool.
