Tottenham Hotspur: Simon Jordan slams Harry Kane exit links
TalkSport pundit Simon Jordan has slammed the recent links of Tottenham Hotspur forward Harry Kane potentially leaving for Bayern Munich.
The Lowdown: Bayern interested
A few weeks ago, 90min claimed that the Bundesliga outfit are still ‘interested’ in bringing the Premier League forward to Germany.
Meanwhile, a couple of weeks back, Sky Sports reported that Kane was in fact open to signing a new contract with Antonio Conte’s side.
The 29-year-old’s current deal with Spurs will run out in the summer of 2024, meaning a development one way or the other is perhaps likely in the near future. Otherwise, Spurs will leave themselves open to selling their record goalscorer for free.
The Latest: Kane won’t join Bayern
Jordan said that he couldn’t see the Tottenham striker going to Bayern, when speaking live on TalkSport.
He stated: “I don’t think he’ll go to Bayern Munich. I don’t see him going to Bayern Munich and I don’t see the benefit of it.
“I don’t believe that anyone deserves anything other than the opportunities that you take.”
The Verdict: What does Kane want?
Our view is that it all comes down to what Kane’s priority is. Will he be content with potentially breaking the all-time Premier League goalscoring record should he stay with Spurs, or does he want to win a major trophy?
We wouldn’t be surprised if he does break the all-time record if he stays in the Premier League, having recently hit his 200th top-flight goal at the weekend.
Either way, we are sure Kane will go down as one of the best strikers in the history of the competition, purely based on his goalscoring exploits.
However, a trophy is arguably the only thing missing from his otherwise glittering career.
If he decided to go abroad to Bayern, we don’t think that winning a league title in another country would be a meaningless achievement (a point also put forward by Jordan argued in the same video).
Germany’s top flight may have been dominated by Bayern over the last decade or so, but it’s still one of the top league prizes in European football, so there’s no shame whatsoever in winning it. And given the title race in the Bundesliga is far more open this year, the Bavarians could perhaps do with a lethal striker such as Kane.
We believe that Kane is in control of his own destiny and shouldn’t be shunned for whatever decision he makes.
