# Tottenham: Daniel Levy told to ‘cash in’ on Harry Kane

**BBC pundit and former [Tottenham Hotspur](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/) defender Ramon Vega has told Spurs chairman Daniel Levy to ‘cash in’ on big-name striker [Harry Kane](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tag/harry-kane/).**

### The Lowdown: Kane flying…

The 29-year-old is thought to be attracting some interest from [Manchester United](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/12793685/man-utd-should-offer-tottenham-100m-for-harry-kane-says-paul-merson-who-praises-mind-blowing-arsenal#:~:text=longstanding%20interest%20in%20signing%20the%20England%20captain) and [Bayern Munich](https://www.90min.com/posts/bayern-munich-remain-interested-in-signing-harry-kane) amid his brilliant form under [Antonio Conte](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tag/antonio-conte/).

Kane has entered the final [17 months](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/harry-kane/profil/spieler/132098) of his contract at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and is free to leave on a Bosman in 2024.

There are [whispers](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/premier-league-spurs-harry-kane-contract-update-latest-news-rumours/) that the club are confident they can extend the England captain’s deal and agree a contract renewal, but former Spurs defender Vega has suggested that now is the right time to sell Kane.

### The Latest: Vega urges Kane sale at Spurs…

Speaking to *Sportsworld* on BBC’s World Service, via [BBC Sport \[Sunday, 19:31\]](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/football/63890757?ns_mchannel=social&ns_source=twitter&ns_campaign=bbc_live&ns_linkname=63e0040d04caa552cb12dabb%26%27I%20think%20Kane%20needs%20to%20win%20medals%27%262023-02-05T19%3A31%3A26.247Z&ns_fee=0&pinned_post_locator=urn:asset:30a7d298-dab7-4e1d-b618-51e2cdbf545f&pinned_post_asset_id=63e0040d04caa552cb12dabb&pinned_post_type=share), the Swiss pundit claimed that Levy can ‘really cash in’ and fund a rebuild of Spurs by selling the club’s [all-time record goalscorer](https://www.skysports.com/football/tottenham-hotspur-vs-manchester-city/report/464853), who is [yet to win](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/harry-kane/erfolge/spieler/132098) team silverware in his career.

Vega explained: *“He can actually walk away from Spurs now without any question and go to a potentially better platform where they can actually win medals.*

*“The player is a legend and he can do that anywhere else, but I think now he needs to win medals and then he’ll be a complete player by the end of his career.*

*“If I was (Spurs charman) Daniel Levy I think it’s the best time now to sell him and really cash in and rebuild. Harry Kane is today, but we need to look for a future Harry Kane.”*

### The Verdict: Should Spurs really sell Kane?

Kane will turn 30 this year and Vega may have a point that Spurs need to look beyond the superstar’s current form and think of future campaigns.

Hailed as [‘exceptional’](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/football/64486870#:~:text=Manchester%20City%20boss%20Pep%20Guardiola,267th%20goal%20for%20the%20club.) by Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola, the Three Lions mainstay would definitely take some replacing in N17, and it will be a monumental task for Levy to find a suitable goalscoring heir.

Kane’s playing ability stretches far beyond [just scoring goals](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/harry-kane/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/132098), with the Spurs legend also able to [drop deep](https://www.goal.com/en/news/kane-dropping-deep-has-made-him-even-more-dangerous---rodgers-salutes-tottenham-star/1q4q7ezra68to1g9nf0ich44fb) and effectively link up play. In 2020/21, the attacker took home both the Premier League [Golden Boot and Playmaker of the Year awards](https://www.premierleague.com/news/2154211), highlighting just how unplayable he is when firing on all cylinders.

From a financial point of view, it may be wise to make money off Kane’s signature as the clock runs out to demand a marquee fee. However, on the pitch, it appears that he is virtually irreplaceable, so cashing in this year might not be the obvious option.
