Manchester United are eyeing up an audacious move for Tottenham Hotspur superstar Harry Kane this summer, according to a recent transfer report.

The Lowdown: Kane a Premier League great

The 29-year-old is undoubtedly one of the best strikers to have ever played in the Premier League, having racked up 198 goals in the division.

Only Alan Shearer (260) and Wayne Rooney (208) can better that tally in the league's 30-year history, and Kane will surely be eyeing up the former's record before his career is over.

United were linked with a move for the England captain earlier this week, with a more recent report building upon that.

The Latest: Man United eyeing up Kane

According to The Daily Mail's Sami Mokbel and Chris Wheeler on Friday evening, United are lining up a big-money move for Kane once this season reaches its conclusion.

The striker's current deal at Tottenham expires in the summer of 2024 and he is yet to commit his future to the north London club. The report adds that 'sources have indicated that Kane is open to joining United', which could come as significant encouragement for those at Old Trafford.

The Verdict: Could be game-changing

Kane really could be a sensational signing for United this summer, turning them from likely top-four finishers to strong title challengers, judging by his remarkable goal record.

His manager Antonio Conte has rightly dubbed him 'world class', and he is one of the most consistent and influential players in the country, hitting double digits for Premier League goals for nine consecutive seasons.

Although he turns 30 later this year, the likes of Karim Benzema and Robert Lewandowski have shown that top-quality strikers can be at their peak well into their 30s these days. The 35-year-old Frenchman netted a staggering 44 goals last season, and even that was surpassed by the Polish predator's 50 prior to him turning 34 last August.

Kane would not only bring guaranteed goals to United's attack but he would also be an all-round focal point, dropping deep and allowing space in behind for the likes of Marcus Rashford and Antony.

A tally of 62 assists in a Spurs shirt in addition to scoring 265 times is proof that the legendary striker's game is about far more than just goals, and he may feel that this is his last chance to earn a big move and win silverware for the first time in his career.
