# Exclusive: Howey endorses Manchester City move for Lewandowski amid Kane issues

**Robert Lewandowski to Manchester City is a “very good shout”, says the club’s former defender Steve Howey.**

City are desperately trying to sign a new striker this summer but are having trouble landing target Harry Kane from Tottenham.

As per multiple reports, including from [The Guardian](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2021/jul/23/tottenham-give-son-new-four-year-deal-and-maintain-kane-is-not-for-sale), the north London outfit’s stance is Kane is not for sale.

It means City may soon have to look elsewhere. And, according to the [Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9789091/Manchester-City-turn-attention-Bayern-Munichs-Robert-Lewandowski.html), that elsewhere could be German giants Bayern Munich.

The outlet reported earlier this month that Pep Guardiola is weighing up a reunion with his former forward Lewandowski as the Premier League champions continue to struggle to strike a deal with Spurs for Kane.

For Howey, the Poland international could be the perfect alternative. He exclusively told **TT**:

*“I think he would cost less and he’d probably be asking for slightly less in wages as well. I mean, that’s a very good shout.*

*“They haven’t really got an out-and-out goalscorer like \[Sergio\] Aguero, that’s what he did. He was just born to score goals, but Lewandowski is born to score goals too.”*

It was another ridiculous campaign by Lewandowski last season after he managed to score [48](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/robert-lewandowski/leistungsdaten/spieler/38253/plus/0?saison=2020) goals in all competitions. Whether Kane is off the table or not, the 32-year-old is definitely an option City should be considering.
