Chelsea urged to enter Man United Harry Kane transfer battle as Tottenham exit stance revealed

Chelsea have been urged to sign Tottenham Hotspur star Harry Kane days after Manchester United's list of striking options for the summer emerged that included the England captain. The Red Devils appear in desperate need of a clinical number nine as part of Erik ten Hag's significant rebuild with the loan signing of Wout Weghorst seen as a temporary stopgap.

Victor Osimhen and Benjamin Sesko were two other names listed alongside Kane after reports emerged the 29-year-old looked set to consider his future in north London. However, Kane's ambition to succeed at his boyhood club remains, as football.london understands.

Despite his stance on a transfer, this is unlikely to tempt teams away from trying to sign the England captain after he became Tottenham's joint-top goal scorer of all time on 266 goals, levelling with Spurs legend Jimmy Greaves.
