It is high time that Harry Kane considered leaving Tottenham to pursue the best silverware his talent deserves
That’s according to former Spurs forward Darren Bent, who believes White Hart Lane hero Kane could start to assess his future THIS SEASON if the club’s wait for trophies continues
Kane is in the form of a life, Bent says, after the forward continued his scoring streak with a brace against West Ham on Sunday – bringing his tally to ten in just nine games in all competitions this season
But it’s not just his scoring prowess in front of goal that is turning heads on the striker’s performances lately
Kane was called the ‘best nine-and-a-half in the world’ by his former Tottenham youth coach and later first-team boss Tim Sherwood, and it looks like the manager has been right since the start, the English captain becoming the ultimate world leader
He provided amazing help to teammate Heung-min Son to open the scoring after just 45 seconds against the Hammers, playing the South Korean flawless on goal with a wonderful curling pass
It was also his eighth assist of the campaign so far for Spurs, meaning he has been directly involved in 18 of the 28 goals the club has scored in all competitions this season
But the result against West Ham on Sunday once again led to talks about his future at White Hart Lane, as Tottenham suffered a late meltdown and ultimately drew 3-3 with West Ham after scoring three goals late
« Harry Kane works extremely hard, » the former Tottenham star said at Monday’s talkSPORT breakfast « I sincerely believe this is the best we’ve seen Harry Kane play, in terms of his full play and impact in the game.
« We’ve seen that he can score so many different goals, we understand that, but if you look at the assists he’s getting now, the way he finds himself in midfield, creating opportunities for others players and even doing defensive work as well as
« But I’m a little scared for Spurs If they don’t win anything this season and Harry Kane plays now, what does he do?
« Is he staying there for fun because he loves the club? » Or does it take it to another level?
« If I were Harry Kane I would probably give him another year to see what happens
« But the problem is, we’ve been saying for a few years now, and really, if he wins the EFL Cup, will that be enough to say to him: ‘I like what Spurs are doing , I will stay « ?
« If the best harvest, like Real Madrid and Barcelona, comes for him, it’s not even a question if they come for him at the end of the season, you go »
talkSPORT host Tony Cascarino agrees and believes the forward, who turned 27 this year, has a big decision to make
« Harry Kane is currently the greatest footballer who has won nothing, » said former Chelsea and Republic of Ireland forward
« He’s 27 now, but once you get close to the 30 mark there’s a big move for you
« I think Harry has to make this his decisive season. If he really believes Tottenham are going to win something and challenge, then he has every reason to stay
