    Tottenham selling Harry Kane would be a major mistake

    Tottenham selling Harry Kane would be a major mistake

    Football teams tend to have a talisman, the stars who transcend just what they do on the pitch. They are the hero of the team, the player that comes up with the goods when the heat is on. One such talisman is Harry Kane at Tottenham.

    The England international has constantly been linked with a switch elsewhere in recent years. Reports recently emerged that Spurs would allow the forward to leave for a fee in the region of £200million, with Manchester United his mooted destination.

    However, conflicting reports now suggest that the north London club are not open to selling the 27-year-old when the next transfer window opens.

    The reports come on the back of Tottenham putting all their none playing staff on the government’s furlough scheme, on which they will receive 80 per cent of their pay during the COVID-19 pandemic. The move was not a surprising one, as chairman Daniel Levy is infamous for his frugality.

    The pandemic will no doubt affect every clubs’ finances, but the crisis is unlikely to bring Tottenham to its knees. Yet, there was talk of selling Kane to help their finances.

    Tottenham have stood still in recent years, as the club had failed to back former head coach Mauricio Pochettino in the transfer until his last transfer window, which has prevented them from moving forward.

    Kane has expressed his desire to play at the very top of the game a lot in recent years. Some reports even suggested that he was unsettled at the north London club.

    Spurs fans have put up with Levy’s spendthrift ways, as the team have consistently finished in the top four in recent years. The sale of their star player and talisman would likely lead to a largescale revolt against the club’s hierarchy.

    If there is any truth in the transfer rumours, then Levy would never rule out anything that could fill the hierarchy’s coffers. However, selling Kane would be a signal that Tottenham are no longer ambitious and they may just slip out of the reckoning at the top end of the Premier League table.
