# Tottenham: Spurs offered Raheem Sterling

**According to [The Sun](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/15123568/man-city-sterling-jesus-tottenham-kane-transfer/), Tottenham are to be offered Raheem Sterling by Manchester City as they attempt to sign Harry Kane.**

### **The Lowdown: Kane wants to leave Spurs**

The 27-year-old dropped a bombshell on Spurs in May as he revealed to the club that he wants to leave for pastures new this summer ([Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11675/12309404/harry-kane-again-tells-tottenham-he-wants-to-leave-as-manchester-city-manchester-united-chelsea-lie-in-wait)).

The Citizens have been heavily linked with a move for the England captain ([The Guardian](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2021/may/19/manchester-city-want-harry-kane-and-plan-talks-with-tottenham)), and there have been suggestions there could be a part-exchange offered.

### **The Latest: City could offer Sterling**

It is now being suggested that City could offer Sterling, along with Gabriel Jesus, to Tottenham as a sweetener to capture Kane’s services.

Pep Guardiola is prepared to let both players go as he aims to freshen up his squad following the 1-0 Champions League final defeat to Chelsea.

### **The Verdict: Interesting deal**

Losing Kane will be a hammer blow for Spurs, of that there is no doubt. In 336 games for the club, he has scored 221 goals ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/harry-kane/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/132098)), and he picked up the Premier League Golden Boot for the third time this season ([premierleague.com](https://www.premierleague.com/news/1206108)). He is Tottenham’s best player and, quite frankly, he will be all but impossible to replace.

If he does leave, however, Tottenham must secure the best possible deal. While £81m-valued Sterling ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/raheem-sterling/marktwertverlauf/spieler/134425)) has not enjoyed his best season, he still managed [15](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/raheem-sterling/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/134425) goals and 12 assists in all competitions. Throughout his career, he has found the back of the net [137](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/raheem-sterling/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/134425) times – he is still only 26 and predominantly plays as a winger.

Along with Jesus, Spurs could be getting themselves two top players with plenty to prove – their potential arrival would more than cushion the blow of Kane’s departure.
