Speaking exclusively to The Transfer Tavern, former Premier League midfielder Carlton Palmer believes Manchester City and Harry Kane could be a match made in heaven.

Kane recently expressed his desire to win trophies and reports have suggested that he will look to leave Tottenham if the north London club fail to qualify for the Champions League.

Meanwhile, Manchester City have been doing just that, winning silverware, with a Champions League trophy still to play for at the end of the month.

They may also need to sign a new striker this summer after Sergio Aguero confirmed that this is his last season at the Etihad.

Taking all of that into account, Palmer feels Kane to Manchester City ticks all the boxes. On the £108m-rated Spurs striker, the retired England international told TT:

"I was thinking the other day would Pep Guardiola go for him at Man City, you know, to replace the likes of Aguero?

"Now, they could afford him, they can afford to pay his wages and whatever. [He'll] create loads of chances and if Harry Kane's fit [and] he goes to Man City, you're guaranteed 35 goals there."

The Independent reported last month that Kane would be keen on a move to either of the Manchester clubs, so perhaps a transfer to the Champions League finalists could be viable this summer.

There is, of course, also a lot of talk about Borussia Dortmund's Erling Haaland. Sky Sports pundit Paul Merson, however, feels Kane is the superior forward.
