Kane confirmed his desire to stay in England’s top-flight during a one-on-one video call with PM Rishi Sunak. Kane’s frank admission will put United on red alert. However, his hopes to stay in Premier League will also boost Tottenham’s hopes of keeping him in north London.
Sunak called Kane to congratulate him on becoming England’s record scorer. The British PM asked the 29-year-old striker whether he wants to overtake Alan Shearer’s tally of 260 goals to become the Premier League’s record scorer too.
Kane has scored 204 goals in Premier League and now, he is the 2nd highest goal-scorer in the ongoing season. Kane said: “Yeah it’s definitely there. I’m getting closer, so it’s for sure something I want to achieve. But I try not to look too far ahead in football. A lot can change in a short period of time, but I’m feeling fit – I’m 29 – so hopefully got plenty of years left. For sure, it’d be something I’d love to do.”
Harry Kane is still searching for the major honour. He came close to the glories with both Tottenham and England. He recently lost the Euro 2020 final against Italy. His club was runner-up in two League Cup finals and the Champions League final.
Tottenham star wants to win trophies in the future and this is the reason why he wants to leave the North London club. He will not win silverware this season, as Spurs have been knocked out from all major competitions. They are fighting for the top-four finish now.
Harry Kane’s contract will expire in one year and he will decide soon whether he will stay at Tottenham or not. The Club wants to renew his contract but it’s unlikely to happen.
Erik ten Hag’s side are on the lookout for a new striker and Harry Kane is their main priority after the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo. Wout Weghorst was signed on loan from Burnley in January, but the Dutchman is just a temporary solution to their striker problem.
Sunak was keen to congratulate Kane on his latest achievement. He said, “Just to say a massive congratulations to you for not just Thursday’s result, but for what you’ve achieved personally. That you are the all time great, and it is an incredible accomplishment.
“You are an amazing role model for our country in the way in which you go about your business… you’re scoring all the goals, but you do it with humility. You talk about your team-mates – you can see how they respect you – and it just speaks volumes about your character that they do. That’s rare… you should just feel incredibly good about that.”
Harry Kane scored his 54th goal for the Three Lions during the 2-1 victory against Itlay on Thursday. Southgate’s side made a solid start to their Euro 2024 qualifying campaign England will now face Ukraine, North Macedonia and Malta in the upcoming games.
