Jamie Redknapp: Harry Kane is uncertain about Tottenham stay
Jamie Redknapp has suggested that Harry Kane is still uncertain about pledging his future to Tottenham.
Jamie Redknapp has claimed that Harry Kane is uncertain about his Tottenham future.
The striker became the club's record goalscorer last weekend but the Sky Sports pundit suggested that the player is yet to be persuaded that Spurs can match his ambitions as he is yet to sign a new contract at the club.
Redknapp told Sky Sports: "He’s one of the best players in the world, he’s got 18 months left on his contract. He is in a position to negotiate really hard with Tottenham if he wants to stay.
"He said to me in 2020: ‘I want to stay, I love the club, but I’ll only stay if I believe the club are going in the right direction.’ The fact he hasn’t signed yet tells me he’s still not quite sure.
"He wants to see a little bit more, he wants the club to match his ambition. He’ll want silverware.
"He’ll know every offer out there, every club that’s interested. They’ll be speaking to his agent, sometimes directly to the players. That’s just how football works."
Kane was heavily linked with a switch to Manchester City in 2021 but ultimately stayed at Spurs and Redknapp thinks that the striker's future will be at the centre of transfer speculation this summer.
He said: "It will come to a head in the summer, one way or another, we will find out Harry Kane’s future.
"Whether he signs a new contract or maybe Tottenham might believe this is a time to cash in.
"That’s why the move to Man City didn’t happen - he wasn’t in a strong enough position to bargain. Harry Kane now holds all the cards and he’s in a brilliant position."
