# Tottenham Hotspur: Kevin Campbell makes ‘interesting’ Harry Kane exit claim involving Man United

**Speaking to [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/man-united-tipped-to-seal-harry-kane-signing-after-espn-update-pundit/), Kevin Campbell of [Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/watch/video/sports/football/12530095/arsenal-are-playing-russian-roulette) has made a Tottenham Hotspur exit claim involving Harry Kane and Manchester United.**

### The Lowdown: Red Devils eye move…

According to [ESPN](https://www.espn.co.uk/football/manchester-united-engman_utd/story/4599173/man-united-list-of-issues-ronaldos-futureralf-rangnicks-roleexpiring-contracts-and-more) in the last week, Antonio Conte’s star striker is very much on the radar of United and could well be targeted this summer.

This comes after their cross-town rivals Manchester City failed with their own attempts to prise Daniel Levy’s star asset away from north London last year. Indeed, the Sky Blues allegedly lodged bids [in excess of £100m](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11675/12337836/harry-kane-man-city-make-100m-transfer-bid-for-tottenham-striker) but even those offers ultimately couldn’t sway Tottenham’s chairman.

As per the American broadcast giant, the Red Devils may now take a turn to swoop for Kane, with the report and journalist Mark Ogden adding ‘especially’ if Mauricio Pochettino is appointed at Old Trafford.

### The Latest: Campbell makes ‘interesting’ claim…

Speaking to [Football Insider,](https://www.footballinsider247.com/man-united-tipped-to-seal-harry-kane-signing-after-espn-update-pundit/) former Arsenal striker Campbell believes that Kane going to United is a possibility, saying ‘watch this space’.

He explained: *“I can see it happening.* *It wouldn’t surprise me, put it that way.*

*“We are watching Harry Kane do the business for Spurs again. I can’t help but think he would be doing that for City every week if they had pulled the trigger. It is crazy.*

*“Look, Kane is England captain and he is a great striker. He is a top-class goalscorer. He is always going to be linked with a move, especially after what happened last summer. It will be interesting to see what happens this summer.*

*“Spurs have been alright of late but let’s be honest, no love has been lost between Kane and Daniel Levy. I think it will be a case of watch this space.”*

### The Verdict: Possible?

The 28-year-old still has [until 2024](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/harry-kane/profil/spieler/132098) to see out his Spurs contract, by which time he’ll be over 30 and into the twilight phase of his career, potentially making this summer make-or-break for Kane to seal a big move.

As City [turn their attention to](https://sportwitness.co.uk/man-city-can-offer-player-exactly-wants-will-easily-pay-huge-wages-e70m-fee/) signing Borussia Dortmund star Erling Braut Haaland, United could feasibly be one of the [only few clubs remaining](https://www.forbes.com/teams/manchester-united/) who could afford Levy’s sky-high [£100m+ valuation](https://www.espn.co.uk/football/soccer-transfers/story/4599587/harry-kane-future-tottenham-look-to-fend-off-interest-with-new-contract-sources) for the England captain.

As for Kane’s personal stance, sources suggest that he has a great relationship with Conte but, as things stand, it is unclear whether he will push for a summer switch or commit to Spurs ([ESPN](https://www.espn.co.uk/football/soccer-transfers/story/4599587/harry-kane-future-tottenham-look-to-fend-off-interest-with-new-contract-sources)).

Tottenham’s progress under the Italian in the next few months is [likely to be a big factor,](https://www.espn.co.uk/football/soccer-transfers/story/4599587/harry-kane-future-tottenham-look-to-fend-off-interest-with-new-contract-sources) and with the likes of United eyeing a move for their star striker, ending this season on a high will be pivotal.
