Harry Kane has been instructed to force a move away from Tottenham this summer as recent reports link him with Manchester United.

The forward, who has netted 17 goals in 22 Premier League outings this campaign, has his contract up with the north London side in 2024

Kane is also on Man Utd’s radar as one of their possible options to bolster the forward line with an elite signing.

It’s thought that the 29-year-old would cost as much as £100m and former Spurs man Jamie O’Hara feels that he should inform Daniel Levy that the side must sell in the upcoming window or risk losing him on a free next year.

“The player and person that Harry Kane is with the mentality that he has, he wants some trophies,” O’Hara told Grosvenor Sport. “He can’t finish his career as the Premier League all-time record goal scorer with just an Audi Cup. That won’t be acceptable to him. I think he’ll have to look to move on if he wants a Premier League title. Manchester United, at the moment, might be the place to be.

“Man Utd will look at his situation at Spurs and think they have got to sell; he’s a £100 million player even with a year left on his contract, so I think they will have to suffer it to bring him in.

“If he goes in the summer because he wants to win a trophy or wants change, good on him, he can’t be blamed for that. He’ll be forever a legend at Spurs, and if he wants out, well, it’s his career.

“He’ll be chasing down the all-time Premier League top scorer record, so he will stay in England. He only needs 60 goals, which is crazy to think; he is still only 29.

“He is going to break the record, one hundred per cent. Alan Shearer is going to get knocked off the perch. They never thought it would be feasible; Kane is going to do it, but in a red shirt.”

Kane must force Levy's hand

O’Hara then stated that Kane must tell Levy that if he wants to recoup any money, he must be sold in the summer: “If he turns round to Daniel Levy and says I’m not signing a new deal, you either get money for me now, or I’m leaving at the end of the season, it’s up to you, he’ll get his move and will have the pick of the bunch.

“He deserves to leave for a bigger club, in my opinion. He has been at Spurs for a long time, and it isn’t his fault that they have signed rubbish players around him; he’s the golden egg in the squad, it isn’t his fault that the players they have brought in haven’t been good enough to win him trophies, so he is in his own right to call it a day.”
