Harry Kane has been told to seek clarity from Antonio Conte over Tottenham's transfer ambitions before making a decision on his future.
The striker attempted to leave the club back in the summer as Manchester City circled but chairman Daniel Levy refused to sell his prized asset. It leaves Kane at a crossroads amid claims he was unhappy a gentleman's agreement was not honoured by the Tottenham chief.
Kane is yet to win a trophy in his career and that drought will continue with Tottenham unable to challenge for silverware this term. The north London outfit could also miss out on the top four with Conte set for a big summer as he attempts to turn the club into genuine challengers.
The future of his striker, whose summer saga appeared to affect his form earlier this season, is likely to be a topic once again in the coming months. Graeme Souness has advised the England forward to seek clarity from Conte regarding the team's strategy going forward.
He told Sky Sports : "If I’m Harry, I’ll be saying to the manager ‘have you got money to spend? You will make this current group better’. The manager isn’t going to hang around here if he hasn’t got the money to spend. The manager wants to be winning trophies, league titles, Champions League, not settling for fifth or sixth.
"We don’t know what Harry and the club have agreed. Harry will be facing a dilemma at the end of the season. Tottenham are working under a good coach and will improve, if they get the right backing they’ll be a real strength going forward."
Should Kane leave Tottenham this summer? Let us know in the comments
Kane has scored 22 times this term whilst his partnership with teammate Son Heung-min is now a record breaking one as the pair continue to combine impressively. The 28-year-old has his sights set on goal scoring records at his club and in English football with Alan Shearer's Premier League total now in sight. Souness though insists that only counts for so much once your career is up.
"He’s won nothing yet. It’s okay having all the records and that, but you still want to show your grandkids your medals," he added. "Right now, he can’t do that. The dilemma for him moving forward is; do I stay or do I go?
"I don’t have a crystal ball and we don’t know what’s been agreed between them (Kane and Daniel Levy). Have they said you can go for x amount? If that’s the case I think City will still be around, knowing Tottenham will get better under this manager."
