Jermaine Jenas explains why Harry Kane has 'caused his own problem' with transfer saga

Jermaine Jenas says that Harry Kane has "caused his own problem" amid his ongoing transfer saga by coming so close to Alan Shearer's all-time Premier League goalscoring record.

Tottenham striker Kane needs to net 47 more strikes to equal Newcastle and Blackburn legend Shearer's tally of 260. But the England captain, 29, hopes to leave Spurs this summer and finally join a club where he can challenge for major honours - unlike at Spurs.

Unfortunately for Kane, though, it appears that he'll have to move abroad to do so, as his prospects in the Premier League are bleak. Manchester United were his only credible escape route heading in the summer transfer window, but the Red Devils have already pulled out of a move after being told to cough up £100million by Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy.
