Jamie Redknapp believes the continued Harry Kane to Man City transfer talk hindered the striker at the start of the season. The Tottenham star began the season slowly, but has begun to find form as his future was once again put into question this week.
Kane to Man City was the talk of last summer but the Premier League champions' inability to meet the steep asking price put on the back of Tottenham's talismanic figure meant that the club decided to splash a British record £100million on Jack Grealish instead. The former Aston Villa captain has similarly struggled to hit the ground running in his first season donning the light blue shirt.
Tottenham and their fans will be thankful that Kane did decide to stay despite the constant speculation, with speculation surrounding the Lilywhites' No.10 at the start of the season under Nuno Espirito Santo. However, once Antonio Conte came in to replace the Portuguese manager, there was almost no looking back as he got back to his best, having registered 28 goal contributions for his club so far.
