After Tuesday’s bolt from the blue in golf, perhaps football will also bypass the rumour stage and Harry Kane will be announced as Al-Hilal’s new No 9 via a tweet from Spurs. If that sounds daft, so are the stories that Kane could be persuaded to stay if Tottenham bring Manchester United’s out-of-favour Harry Maguire to north London. The two Harrys are big mates you see. Yeah, that should do it.
Kane continues to be heavily linked with both United and Real Madrid, although the two giants are supposedly lining up alternatives if Daniel Levy holds out for £100m or more. Rather than plump for Kane as Saudi-bound Karim Benzema’s replacement, Madrid could move for Chelsea’s Kai Havertz. So, that would mean signing a forward with 19 goals in the last three Premier League seasons instead of one who bagged 70. Sounds fair.
