According to Jay Bothroyd, Harry Kane will be telling people behind the scenes at Tottenham Hotspur that he needs to ‘get out’.
The one-cap England striker believes it is ‘perceived’ in the media that Harry Kane is’sitting back’ and is OK with his future.
But, when the cameras are off, Bothroyd believes he is pleading with Tottenham to let him go, as he told Sky Sports’ Transfer Show.
Bayern Munich are the most interested in signing him, given his current contract expires in 12 months.
Despite long-term interest from Manchester United and Chelsea, it appears that they are winning the battle for the 213-goal Premier League great.
For Bothroyd, whilst he thinks Kane will be asking to leave, he doesn’t think he will be keen on Bayern, and instead, he feels he will want to join either Manchester Unite or re-unite with Mauricio Pochettino at Chelsea.
“I think they should just say ‘Harry, you have been fantastic here at this club. You have done wonders and overstayed, to be honest. Go and get your move. Go and get the chance to win stuff’,” said Bothroyd.
“I think it’s the way it is perceived that Harry Kane, the way he is sitting back and training. That’s the way it’s perceived.
“But what he is actually saying is ‘I need to get out of here’. That’s the way players will speak. They will say what they need to say to the cameras and the media because he wants to look like a good pro. He is England’s captain. He needs to look good as well.
“But I can tell you right now that he will be telling his management, whoever they are, ‘you need to get me out of here.'” I need to get moving. You must get me to such and such clubs’. Chelsea and Manchester United are the only two. That is his first priority. Bayern Munich have been placed on the back burner. They are present, yet he is uninterested.”
The Kane transfer saga must be handled as soon as possible.
If Kane does move, it makes no difference whether he arrives next week or on deadline day. They have found their man, and they will be pleased.
But, for Spurs themselves, the situation needs sorting out. He either goes or signs a new deal, and all of this has to be done ASAP.
It will then allow Ange Postecoglou to build and, if need be, prepare for life after Kane because it’s not going to be easy.
