Harry Kane given 'no silverware guarantee' warning amid Newcastle United links

Former Manchester United and Everton striker Louis Saha believes that Harry Kane leaving Tottenham for a move to Newcastle United would be a mistake.

The 29-year-old is one of the most prolific goalscorers in world football and would undoubtedly make a fantastic addition to Eddie Howe's squad.

With Kane's lack of silverware having played for Spurs for most of his career being something many hold against him, Saha believes that he'd be better suited under Erik ten Hag at Manchester United rather than at St. James' Park.

"I think Kane to Newcastle would be a bad move for him," Saha told DAZN Bet earlier this week. "If you want to guarantee yourself silverware, Newcastle are still a club trying to grow.

"Just because they have all the wealth does not mean they will win the Premier League next year. They have done really well and need to continue that, but don’t think it’s a guarantee for silverware.

"If Kane is looking for silverware and history, then I respect Newcastle as a club but it’s nowhere near Man Utd. In terms of trajectory, the calibre of players - from Casemiro to Eriksen - I don’t think that Newcastle can match them. I would be very surprised to see Kane go there.

"There is the obvious point about Newcastle’s money, but I don’t think that will be enough for Kane. He’s out there with a legacy to defend.

"I don’t like players going to clubs for the money. I respect Newcastle, it’s a great club, but it’s nowhere near the calibre of Man Utd nor does it offer more of a guarantee to win trophies. They are not there."
