Chelsea are the new favorite to sign Harry Kane this summer, after a report claimed that Thomas Tuchel had made the frustrated Tottenham striker his new number one target.
Kane he has been the subject of much transfer speculation after admitting he will review his future this summer. The scathing comments he’s made about wanting to win trophies have given an indication of his mindset. Missing the top four, which currently seems likely, will be another blow to Spurs in keeping her star man happy.
It all resulted in an interim boss Ryan Mason makes this confession about the future of the English forward.
Now the rumors of his departure from Tottenham are beginning to gain momentum. And it seems that missing the Champions League will be enough to force its sale.
This week’s speculation suggested both Manchester City and Manchester United will fight for his signature. That’s after talkSPORT journalist Alex Crook says he was told by an anonymous Premier League boss that Kane will be leaving the north London club at the end of the campaign.
However, Football Insider claims that it is Chelsea who are now leading the race.
The Champions League finalists are looking for a Category A forward this summer to replace Timo Werner. The German has fought fought since a £ 47.5 million move to Stamford Bridge last summer.
He has scored just 18 goals in 49 appearances with the Blues, missing a host of golden opportunities.
Erling Haaland and Sergio Agüero have been touted as possible successors. However, Haaland would cost the bulk of £ 150 million, while Agüero is ready to sign for Barcelona.
Romelu Lukaku has also been linked to a large money return to Stamford Bridge.
But with Kane eager to leave the Spurs, Football Insider, citing an anonymous source, claims Tuchel can get the forward. They claim that the Blues are ready to make the controversial Kane move if they are encouraged to move to London.
Of all Kane’s outings, that would be the bitterest of pills for Spurs fans to swallow. But the move would allow Kane to uproot his family. Plus, it would give him the most genuine opportunity to triumph in the trophy that, at 27, he craves so much.
