Confirmed: Christian Falk speaks out on Harry Kane to Barcelona transfer talk

If Spurs were still offering Champions League football and a realistic chance of winning trophies, then perhaps it would be different, but we seem a long way from that.

Kane’s Tottenham connections surely mean he won’t ever go to Arsenal, while Manchester City don’t need him while they still have Erling Haaland. Liverpool and Manchester United might be options, but they both have their issues so might not be enough of a guarantee for Kane either.

It’s a shame, though, because the 32-year-old looks to be in the form of his life and could surely still have a realistic chance of breaking Alan Shearer’s all-time Premier League scoring record.

Kane left England with 213 league goals, and if he’d stayed and scored at the same rate that he has for Bayern, he’d now be on 311 in the Premier League – far clear of Shearer.
