Jermaine Jenas makes Harry Kane transfer claim and lifts lid on Mauricio Pochettino chat

Jermaine Jenas says that Harry Kane "deserves better" than suffering Tottenham's ongoing mess - and has questioned the club's stance on Mauricio Pochettino.

Kane, 29, was part of the side who were spanked 6-1 on Sunday by top-four rivals Newcastle, prompting the squad to cough up refunds for fans who travelled to St James' Park. The England captain scored Spurs' consolation goal but Jenas feels that the shambles of a performance could prove to be "the straw that breaks the camel's back."

Manchester United - coincidentally Tottenham's next opponents on Thursday - are plotting a move for Kane in the summer transfer window, with the sought-after striker's future never more in the spotlight than when he almost joined Manchester City in 2021. After Spurs sacked their second manager in four weeks following the crushing defeat, Kane has been tipped to leave but Jenas feels that United and other interested suitors won't be "enough" to tempt the 29-year-old away, despite entering the final year of his contract.
