Speaking to Football Insider, Sky Sports pundit Kevin Campbell has been blown away by a transfer claim involving Tottenham Hotspur star Harry Kane and Man City midfielder Bernardo Silva.
The Lowdown: City pull out all the stops?
As August 31 approaches with time running out to land one of their top targets in Kane, reports have recently detailed that City could pull out all the stops to finally sign him.
Reliable transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano claims that the Sky Blues are 'really pushing' for him while the Daily Mail highlight just how far they are willing to go.
The Mail claim that City could now offer Spurs the chance to sign Bernardo in a swap deal for Kane and it is believed, in terms of cash, they could also go as high as £130 million.
The Latest: Campbell blown away...
Speaking to FI, reacting to this news from the Mail, Campbell has been blown away by the 'huge' update and believes signing Bernardo in exchange plus £130m would be a 'great deal for Spurs'.

"Wow, now that would be a great deal for Spurs," explained the former Premier League striker.
"That is for sure because Bernardo Silva is a fantastic player.
“The question is, will Spurs bite? That is the key. I don’t think Daniel Levy is going to make compromises over this one.
“£130million plus Silva is a lot of money plus a top player. Now if that does not get the juices flowing for Spurs, I really do not know what will. Huge.”
The Verdict: Bang on the money...
Landing a player of Bernardo's calibre whilst receiving a nine-digit fee would be a major offer and one chairman Daniel Levy would be foolish not to consider.
Kane, at 28-years-old, is slowly but surely approaching the twilight phase of his career - with there being an argument that Spurs should cash-in while they still can.
Given the player's own desire to leave and Tottenham's need to adopt a sell-to-buy policy, not entertaining a generous offer of that ilk would be questionable to say the least.
